Power was consequently returned to a civilian, democratic government. Bagaza subsequently denied any involvement in the putsch.

He was a senator for life as a former head of state. He eventually began to advocate the division of Burundi into a "Tutsiland" and a "Hutuland". On 18 January , Bagaza was placed under house arrest for gathering weapons for a plot against President Buyoya. Two months later, the house arrest was changed into a prison sentence, though he was quickly released.

Bagaza ran as PARENA's candidate for the presidential election, but withdrew when the Burundian opposition boycotted the elections.
