| dbo:abstract | The 1886 Costa Rican general election was held on 4 April 1886. After the death of Próspero Fernández Oreamuno in March 1885, Bernardo Soto Alfaro took over the presidency temporarily for the remainder of the term. Soto was a thirty-year-old young man who had to command the country in the war against Guatemala that sought to re-establish the Federal Republic of Central America. Soto was a freemason and liberal, belonging to "The Olympus", a group of liberal intellectuals who would have a great influence on Costa Rican politics and many would hold the Presidency of the Republic. Soto managed to prevent through various tricks the candidacy of Víctor Guardia Gutiérrez, brother of the late dictator Tomás Guardia Gutiérrez, becoming sole and unanimous candidate in a two-degree type of election in which all male citizens allowed by law choose second-degree electors who selected the President. (en) Tras la muerte de Próspero Fernández Oreamuno en marzo de 1885, asume la presidencia interinamente por lo que resta del período Bernardo Soto Alfaro, joven de treinta años quien tuvo que comandar al país en la guerra contra Guatemala que buscaba restablecer por la fuerza la República Federal de Centro América. Soto era masón y liberal, perteneciente a "El Olimpo" grupo de intelectuales liberales que tendrían gran influencia en la política costarricense y que muchos ostentarían la presidencia de la República. Soto logró impedir por medio de distintas artimañas la candidatura de Víctor Guardia Gutiérrez, hermano del difunto dictador Tomás Guardia Gutiérrez, convirtiéndose en candidato único y electo por unanimidad. En Alajuela votaron 5 electores más de los que establecía la ley sin que se haya encontrado decreto que aumentara su número. (es) |
