Voters chose both the President and their legislators and with a turnout of 90.6% (the highest in Argentine electoral history). Background The year 1955 cast a long shadow over these elections. President Juan Perón was violently overthrown in September of that year and the succeeding junta banned the Peronist Party and even the possession of Peronist mementoes or the very mention of the former leader or of the late Eva Perón. The junta did, however, convene a Civilian Advisory Board which, to the dismay of many conservatives, recommended against draconian measures or the reversal of most of Perón's reforms. They also called for a referendum ratifying the 1853 Constitution (which Perón had heavily amended in 1949), while retaining Perón's Article 15, a section devoted to social reforms; the junta's leader, Gen. Pedro Aramburu, backed the panel's findings. An attempted countercoup against the junta, defeated on June 10, led to the execution of 27 plotters (including numerous civilians) and derailed Aramburu's hopes for the creation of a viable political alternative to the populist leader. thumb|Businessman Rogelio Julio Frigerio, who secured Perón's endorsement of Frondizi in 1956, thus determining the outcome of the elections. Seizing the opportunity, the Radical Civic Union (UCR)'s 1951 vice-presidential nominee, Arturo Frondizi secretly secured an agreement with the exiled Perón, by which the banned Peronists would be given a voice in exchange for their support. The pact, a mere rumor at the time, created a rift within the UCR at their party convention in November 1956, forcing Frondizi and his supporters to run on a splinter ("Intransigent") ticket and leaving more anti-Peronist UCR voters with Ricardo Balbín, the party's 1951 standard bearer. The two wings presented different candidates for the constituent assembly election called for July 28, 1957, with no clear winner, though the deadlocked assembly did ratify the Advisory Board's proposed constitutional changes. Unmentionable by law, Perón became the central issue of the 1958 campaign. Argentina was abuzz with the staccato sounds of El-qué-te-dije (roughly translated to "You know who"), as he opposed Balbín, who accepted Pres. Aramburu's endorsement as the candidate of the ruling junta. Balbin, and his Radical Civic Union of the People, was dealt a "February surprise" when, four days before the election, the exiled leader publicly announced his endorsement of Frondizi. Blank votes (Peronist voters' choice during the assembly elections of 1957, which they narrowly "won") became Frondizi votes, making him the winner of the 1958 elections in Argentina.Todo Argentina Candidates Intransigent Radical Civic Union (progressive): Former Deputy Arturo Frondizi of Corrientes Province Popular Radical Civic Union (centrist): Former Deputy Ricardo Balbín of Buenos Aires Province Christian Democratic Party (progressive): Lucas Ayarragaray Socialist Party: Former Senator Alfredo Palacios of the city of Buenos Aires Results President Popular vote Electoral College Electoral vote Arturo Frondizi Alejandro Gómez Intransigent Radical Civic Union 4070398 319 318 Ricardo Balbín Santiago del Castillo es Santiago H. del Castillo People's Radical Civic Union es Unión Cívica Radical del Pueblo 2617693 140 135 Lucas Ayarragaray Jr. Horacio Sueldo es Christian Democratic Party 285650 Alfredo Palacios Carlos Sánchez Viamonte es Socialist Party 264721 Héctor González Iramain Carlos Aguinaga Democratic Party 145935 Reynaldo Pastor es Martín Aberg Cobo Conservative Democratic People's Party 128226 Luciano Molinas es Horacio R., Thedy Democratic Progressive Party 126991 Alejandro H.
