The Nicaraguan presidential election of 1926 was held on 11 November of that year. ==Background== On 25 October 1925, former President Emiliano Chamorro Vargas, the losing candidate in the previous presidential election, seized La Loma fortress dominating Managua and informed the American Minister that his purpose was to drive the Liberals from the Cabinet and restore the Conservative Party to office. Vargas argued that the unconstitutional procedures in the election of the Solórzano-Juan Bautista Sacasa administration voided the nonrecognition obligations of the 1923 treaty. He did not mention but everyone knew that in 1920 Vargas, as outgoing president, had insured the election of his uncle through a dishonest election.〔MacRenato, Ternot.

Pp. 78.〕 The American Minister at once informed General Vargas that he would not recognize any government assuming power by force.〔Department of State.

Pp. 56.〕 After the capture of the Loma Fortress, Doctor Juan Bautista Sacasa, the Vice President, had returned to León, remaining there in hiding. Early in November, General Vargas sent 1,200 men to León, stating that they would be held there until Doctor Sacasa should resign. Sacasa fled the country. Unable to secure Sacasa’s resignation, Vargas took steps to ascend the Presidency by means which would secure recognition of the United States.〔United States Department of State.

Pp. 56.〕 Congress convened in December 1925 and eighteen senators and deputies were expelled. Vargas claimed they had been seated illegally after the 1924 elections.〔MacRenato, Ternot.

Pp. 79.〕 On 3 January 1926, Emiliano Chamorro Vargas was elected without opposition Senator of Managua, the vacancy having been created by means of the resignation of one of his friends.〔United States Department of State.

Congress then elected General Vargas First Designate for the Presidency.〔 On 16 January, Congress granted President Solórzano an indefinite leave of absence, and Vargas, as First Designate, assumed executive power, thereby relegating Solórzano to a titular position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicaraguan presidential election, 1926」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
