Luis Sáenz Peña was elected president. Background An 1888 massacre of a May Day gathering and an unprecedented financial crisis led to the formation of the first meaningful opposition to develop as reform movements in urban areas, culminating in the Revolution of the Park that forced Juárez Celman's 1890 resignation. These developments gathered speed when the Civic Union of the Youth became the Radical Civic Union (UCR), in 1891. Instability also prompted moderates from within the PAN to advance a diplomat, Roque Sáenz Peña, as the nominee. Roca foiled this move by persuading former Supreme Court Chief Justice Luis Sáenz Peña (Roque's father) to run – forcing the young reformist to withdraw. The UCR's appeal, for its part, helped lead President Carlos Pellegrini (who replaced the besieged Juárez Celman) to declare a state of siege a week before the 10 April 1892 elections. The resulting UCR electoral boycott left the ruling PAN as the only party on the ballot, handing its nominee the presidency unanimously.Todo Argentina: 1892 es Results President Luis Sáenz Peña National Autonomist Party 210 Bernardo de Irigoyen Radical Civic Union 5 Bartolomé Mitre National Civic Union 5 Julio Argentino Roca National Autonomist Party 1 232 By province ProvinceSáenz Peña Irigoyen Mitre Roca Buenos Aires City 20 1 Buenos Aires 33 Catamarca 12 Córdoba 26 Corrientes 13 Entre Ríos 17 Jujuy 8 La Rioja 8 Mendoza 5 5 Salta 11 San Juan 10 San Luis 10 Santa Fe 11 Santiago del Estero 17 Tucumán 9 5 Total 210 5 5 1 Vice president José Evaristo Uriburu National Autonomist Party 216 Juan M.
