1916 Uruguayan Constitutional Assembly election

Add article description

Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Uruguay on 30 July 1916.[1] The National Party emerged as the largest party, winning 105 of the 218 seats. The Batllista wing of the Colorado Party was defeated as a result of a coalition of nationalist and non-Batllista Colorado Party members.[2] According to one study, "Exigencies of politics precluded a clear-cut batllista control of the constitutional convention elected in 1916 even though Batlle's followers still dominated the congress."[3]
