1923 Honduran general election

none

none

General elections were held in Honduras between 27 and 29 October 1923. Tiburcio Carías Andino received the highest number of votes, with 47% of the ballots cast. However, as no candidate had received an absolute majority in the public vote, Congress would vote on the candidates. However, Congress did not meet again until 1 January the following year. In December President Rafael López Gutiérrez declared a state of siege, suspended the constitution, and announced that he would remain in office in order to keep the peace. Although Congress was dominated by the two liberal parties, they did not want Carías, but also could not agree on a common candidate.

As a result, Carías started a civil war in February, known as the War of Revindication. López Gutiérrez lost the support of his party in several provinces. Scattered fighting took place over two months, with 400 American marines occupying Tegucigalpa.

Background

In April 1923 Carías was selected by the National Party's Central Committee as the party's candidate for president, with Miguel Paz Barahona as his running mate.
