Jānis Pliekšāns won 33 votes, Kārlis Ulmanis won 32, and Čakste won 29. Each candidate only received the total number of votes of members of the same party. In the second ballot, the LSDSP withdrew Pliekšāns' candidacy, which thus gave Čakste a comfortable majority of 60 votes.http://www.president.lv/pk/preview/?module=print_content&module_name=content&cat_id=898 lv Jānis Čakste President.lv https://web.archive.org/web/20160305070952/http://www.president.lv/pk/preview/?module=print_content&module_name=content&cat_id=898 March 5, 2016 Jānis Pliekšāns Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party 33 Kārlis Ulmanis Latvian Farmers' Union 32 31 Jānis Čakste Democratic Centre 29 60 References Category:Presidential elections in Latvia Latvia Category:1925 in Latvia
