Following Kashafli's announcement of retirement, the Wahdist League would promptly elect then Minister of Energy, Majed Al-Basim, to become Chairman of the Wahdist League. Al-Basim was considered too "liberal" by many members and supporters of the Wahdist League. This saw a massive loss of support for the Wahdist League. This would also result in a new political party forming after splitting off from the Wahdist League. It named itself the [[Combatant Clergy League]] and campaigned on the basis of "staying true to the spirity of the Wahdist Revolution". Led by former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Erda Rasheed, the Combatant Clergy League would begin their rise in Dabiristani politics. Despite the split and loss in support, the Wahdist League would win the 1990 National Elections. |

Al-Basim's presidency is considered to be extremely controversial. He is seen as the reason for the Wahdist League losing in the 1994 and 1998 National Elections. His presidency is marked with failed attempts to privatise the energy industry and attempts to reform the military. In 1993, a scandal involving the assassination of far-left politician, Bozorg Tahabadi, resulted in many blaming Al-Basim's government for corruption and dictatorial rule. Al-Basim announced he would be resigning from politics after his presidential term ended in similar fashion to his predecessor. He also cited "personal reasons" for his reason of resignation. |
