The Panama held a general election on 11 May 1940, electing both a new President of the Republic and a new National Assembly. Arnulfo Arias Madrid’ ties to the incumbent administration and, consequently, to the National Police gave him the advantage over his opponent. Moreover his temporary electoral coalition of liberal parties augmented his support among members of the electoral board. 〔Pearcy, Thomas L. We answer only to God: politics and the military in Panama, 1903-1947. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press. 1998. Pp. 86.〕 Shortly before polling day Ricardo Joaquín Alfaro Jované (the opposition coalition candidate) fled into the Zone for sanctuary, and Arias Madrid (the candidate of the National Revolutionary Party) became president by the familiar walkover. 〔Major, John. Prize possession: the United States and the Panama Canal, 1903-1979. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Pp. 1993. 262.〕 Arias Madrid pieced together a political coalition, including some oligarchs with fascistic tendencies and the growing, nationalistic middle class. He swept into power by a vote of 107,750 to 3,022. 〔LaFeber, Walter. The Panama Canal: the crisis in historical perspective. New York: Oxford University Press. Updated edition. 1989. Pp. 74.〕 Arnulfo Arias Madrid was elected on the basis of a nationalist program which rested on hostility to all foreigners in general and to the United States and the West Indian and Chinese minorities in Panama in particular. 〔Institute for the Comparative Study of Political Systems.
