1934 Colombian presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 11 February 1934. The result was a victory for Alfonso López Pumarejo of the Liberal Party, who received 99.6% of the vote. He took office on 7 August.

The Conservative Party alleged Liberal gerrymandering and called for the elections to be boycotted.

López ran a campaign emphasizing reform, welfare programs, liberal democracy, constitutional reform, education reform (moving away from Church-provided education to public education), expansion of male suffrage, land reform to redistribute idle land to the landless.
