On December 19, 1967, President General Christophe Soglo , who himself came to power through a coup , was overthrown in a military coup led by Iropa Maurice Kouandété . Kouandété handed over the presidency to Lieutenant Colonel Alley two days later . On June 26, 1968, the ruling junta decided to entrust a civilian government with solving the country's problems.

It was decided for Émile Derlin Henri Zinsou , who replaced Alley on July 17, 1968 as president; his term of office was ended in a familiar coup the following year.
