Voters chose their legislators and numerous governors with a turnout of 49%. Background Elections in 1926 became a prologue to the presidential campaign which was to be held in April 1928. This was made inevitable by former President Hipólito Yrigoyen's decision to run for the office he had held from 1916 to 1922, when policy differences with the conservative wing of the UCR, as well as his removal of 18 governors by decree, created the Antipersonalist faction.Unión Cívica Radical (Capital Federal) Evolución del radicalismo Parte I (1893-1928) https://web.archive.org/web/20070311164828/http://www.ucrcapital.org.ar/UCR/Biblioteca/Historia/detalleH.asp?sec=2&id=2 2007-03-11 es Yrigoyen's own popularity, the cohesiveness of his majority faction, and disunity among the "dissident" UCR groups (which were originally five, and had become ten by 1926) sustained the aging populist as the country's paramount politician after disappointing mid-term results in 1924. The 1926 results themselves further eroded the pro-Yrigoyen UCR's majority in the Lower House, while solidifying dissident UCR control in Entre Ríos, Mendoza, San Juan, Santa Fe, and Santiago del Estero Provinces. Yrigoyen's allies, who won in three, smaller northwestern provinces, carried Buenos Aires Province, as well the City of Buenos Aires, however.https://www.mininterior.gov.ar/asuntospoliticos/pdf/HistoriaElectoralArgentina.pdf Historia Electoral Argentina (1912-2007) December 2008 Ministry of Interior - Subsecretaría de Asuntos Políticos y Electorales https://web.archive.org/web/20140908165849/https://www.mininterior.gov.ar/asuntospoliticos/pdf/HistoriaElectoralArgentina.pdf 8 September 2014 These latter were defining victories in Yrigoyen's preparations for 1928, and more so because a key ally, Buenos Aires Governor José Luis Cantilo, would be succeeded by Valentín Vergara — an even closer ally.Walter, Richard. The Province of Buenos Aires and Argentine Politics. 1912-1943. Cambridge University Press, 1985. Given that Conservatives, Democratic Progressives, and Socialists were unable to gain traction as alternatives to the dueling UCRs, these results compelled the Antipersonalists' chief voice, Interior Minister Gallo, to petition the President for Vergara's removal. Alvear, however, refused, and Gallo, who acrimoniously resigned, handed Yrigoyen a powerful issue as the nation geared for the 1928 campaign.Todo Argentina: 1926 https://web.archive.org/web/20181002114224/http://www.todo-argentina.net/historia/radicales/alvear/1926.html 2018-10-02 es Results Won Total File:Elecciones legislativas de Argentina de 1926.svg Radical Civic Union 336351 38 60 Conservative Parties 10 Democratic Party of Córdoba es Partido Demócrata de Córdoba 45144 4 10 Conservative Party 38584 7 15 National Autonomist Party Autonomist–Liberal Pact es Pacto Autonomista - Liberal 26618 3 5 Popular Concentration 16645 0 1 Liberal Party of Tucumán 15810 3 5 Provincial Union 9288 2 2 Liberal Party of Mendoza 7390 1 2 Civic Concentration 2563 1 1 Democratic Party of San Luis es Partido Demócrata de San Luis Liberal Democratic Party 2 162042 21 43 Antipersonalist Radical Civic Union es Unión Cívica Radical Antipersonalista 98049 7 10 Socialist Party 97880 4 19 Unified Radical Civic Union es Unión Cívica Radical Unificada 74463 8 17 Dissident Radicalism 7 Doctor Carranza Radical Civic Union 8194 0 0 Dissident Radical Civic Union Dissident Radical Civic Union White Radical Civic Union 8077 0 0 Dissident Radical Civic Union Independent Radical Civic Union 5736 0 0 Dissident Radical Civic Union Principist Radical Civic Union es Unión Cívica Radical Principista 3797 0 0 Red Radical Civic Union 2514 0 0 Dissident Radical Civic Union Alem Radical Civic Union 33 0 0 Dissident Radical Civic Union 28351 0 0 Lencinist Radical Civic Union es Unión Cívica Radical Lencinista 18327 1 2 Blockist Party of San Juan es Partido Bloquista de San Juan Blockist Radical Civic Union 13333 2 2 Communist Party of Argentina 7088 0 0 Unitarian Party 1466 0 0 Public Health Party es Partido Salud Pública 934 0 0 Democratic Progressive Party 792 0 3 National Feminist Party es Partido Feminista Nacional 684 0 0 Others 754 0 0 Independents 11771 0 0 Vacant 2 2 0 32052 1799131 Cantón,Cantón Darío Materiales para el estudio de la sociología política en la Argentina http://www.dariocanton.com/publicaciones/sociologia/1968_materiales-para-el-estudio-de-la-sociologia/1968_materiales-para-el-estudio-de-la-sociologia_1.pdf Centro de Investigaciones Sociales - Torcuato di Tella Institute Buenos Aires 1968 Tomo I 97–98 Chamber of DeputiesDiario de Sesiones de la Cámara de Diputados - Año 1926 https://books.google.com/books?id=XnNKAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA0 Imprenta y encuadernación de la Cámara de Diputados Buenos Aires 1926 Tomo I References Category:Legislative elections in Argentina Argentina Legislative Argentina
