Julio Argentino Roca was elected. Background A leader of the Conquest of the Desert, as well as of the suppression of Mitre's 1874 uprising and others, outgoing president Nicolás Avellaneda had decided on General Julio Roca as his successor early on. Memories of Mitre's defeat did not sit well with Buenos Aires separatists, and this faction nominated the Governor of Buenos Aires Province, Carlos Tejedor.

These negotiations eventually result in the Federalization of Buenos Aires in September, stabilizing the powerful province's position within Argentina.Todo Argentina: 1880 https://web.archive.org/web/20180622112224/http://www.todo-argentina.net/historia/gen80/Roca1/1880.html 2018-06-22 es Notes References 1880 Cámara de Senadores - Sesión de 1880 Diario de Sesiones del Honorable Senado de la Nacion https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435068283340;view=1up;seq=599 Buenos Aires El Nacional 423 Duhalde Eduardo Luis 2007 Acción Parlamentaria de John William Cooke https://books.google.com/books?id=4KQTnSsjwx0C&pg=PA232 Buenos Aires Colihue 232 978-950-563-460-6 Lorenzo Celso Ramón 1999 Manual de Historia Constitucional Argentina, Volumen 3 https://books.google.com/books?id=wD0XWQoc7rIC&pg=PA10 Rosario Editorial Juris 10 950-817-111-1 https://www.mininterior.gov.ar/asuntospoliticos/pdf/HistoriaElectoralArgentina.pdf Historia Electoral Argentina (1912-2007), p. 58 December 2008 Ministry of the Interior 13 June 2017 8 September 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140908165849/https://www.mininterior.gov.ar/asuntospoliticos/pdf/HistoriaElectoralArgentina.pdf dead Argentina Presidential Category:Presidential elections in Argentina Argentina Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
