1996 Beninese presidential election
Presidential elections were held in Benin in March 1996. The first round, held on 3 March (or 4 March), saw no candidate gain over 50% of the vote, resulting in a second round held on 18 March.

Soglo alleged fraud, but this was rejected by the Constitutional Court (who had annulled 22% of the votes in the first round), which confirmed Kérékou's victory. Voter turnout was 88% in the first round and 78% in the second round.

Today the painting is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C.
