Leguía and to an interim government headed by Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro. On March 1, 1931, Sánchez resigned and went into exile. He returned on July 7, 1931, to be a candidate in the 1931 Peruvian general election. Haya de la Torre shortly thereafter also returned from exile to be a candidate in the election.
