Benavides hoped to avoid a repeat of the highly partisan politics that preceded the coup and called for parties to work together. As a result, in March 1915 the Civilista Party, Constitutional Party and Liberal Party held a joint convention, with 418 members in attendance. The parties agreed to support a common presidential candidate, selecting former president José Pardo y Barreda on 28 March. On 25 April the convention selected Ricardo Bentín Sánchez and Melitón Carvajal as candidates for the vice presidencies.https://library.ucsd.edu/research-and-collections/collections/notable-collections/latin-american-elections-statistics/Peru/elections-and-events-1900-1929.html Elections and Events 1900-1929 The Library UC San Diego https://web.archive.org/web/20210114211016/https://library.ucsd.edu/research-and-collections/collections/notable-collections/latin-american-elections-statistics/Peru/elections-and-events-1900-1929.html 14 January 2021 Results President José Pardo y Barreda Civilista Party 131289 Carlos de Piérola es Democratic Party 13151 144712 BasadreHistoria de la República del Perú, 1822–1933, Volume 12 Jorge Basadre Editorial Universitaria 1968 372 First vice president Ricardo Bentín Sánchez 127459 146523 Basadre Second vice president Melitón Carvajal 134077 146237 Basadre References Category:Presidential elections in Peru Peru Presidential Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
