Answer:

He opposed the results of election and continued his power for two more years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pinochet defied the election results so he stayed in power for two more years. His dictatorship in Chile extended from 1973 to 1990. The 1988 elections were initially a failure because it let Pinochet stay in power even though he shouldn't by the Constitution. A national referendum ( Chilean national plebiscite in 1988) that helped to put pressure on Pinochet, resulting in at the end of his dictatorship in 1990
