Piñero had been appointed by Harry S. Truman. The Popular Democratic Party (PPD) formally distanced itself from the independence movement in a statement by its gubernatorial candidate Luis Muñoz Marín. The Republican Union Party changed its name to the Statehood Party, the former Liberal Party changed its name to the Reformist Party, and the Socialist Party ran alone in this election. Martín Travieso ran for governor on a coalition ticket for the Statehood, Socialist and Puerto Rican Reformist parties. Muñoz Marín won the gubernatorial elections with 61% of the vote, becoming the first popularly elected governor of Puerto Rico.Nohlen, p562 Results Governor Luis Muñoz Marín Popular Democratic Party 392386 Martín Travieso PEP–PS–PRP 182977 #000000 Francisco Susoni Puerto Rican Independence Party 65351 873085 Nohlen Resident Commissioner Antonio Fernós-Isern Popular Democratic Party 392033 Luis A.
