Quick Facts Nominee, Party ...

Incumbent president Francisco Morazán's first four-year term as president had led to him becoming very unpopular among the liberal elites that were his main supporters, due to him moving the federal capital from Guatemala to El Salvador. As a result, moderate conservative leader José Cecilio del Valle was elected president.[1]

However, Valle died before taking the oath while traveling between Honduras and Guatemala, and new elections were called for February 1835. José Gregorio Salazar served as interim president between the two elections.[2]
