1932 Chilean general election

Abraham Oyanedel Independent Arturo Alessandri Liberal General elections were held in Chile on 30 October 1932.

The election took place roughly a year after the previous election, but political and economic instability caused by the Great Depression which hit a low in mid-1932, only made the situation worse.

President Montero had to resign shortly after a mutiny led by Marmaduque Grove, who headed the Socialist Republic of Chile until being overthrown by former ally Carlos Dávila who would also be overthrown, this time by Bartolome Blanche.

After his downfall, Abraham Oyanedel became head of state.

The return of Alessandri became so highly awaited that he won the election in a landslide ending a turbulent and bitter year for the country, being considered today as the worst one in Chilean history.
