Presidential elections were held in Peru in 1915. They followed a coup in January 1914 that overthrew the government of Guillermo Billinghurst.
José Pardo y Barreda of the Civilista Party was elected president with 91% of the vote. Ricardo Bentín Sánchez was elected first vice president and Melitón Carvajal second vice president.
Background
A new electoral law was approved in February, which abolished the previous electoral register.
Coup leader Óscar R. Benavides hoped to avoid a repeat of the highly partisan politics that preceded the coup and called for parties to work together. As a result, in March 1915 the Civilista Party, Constitutional Party and Liberal Party held a joint convention, with 418 members in attendance. The parties agreed to support a common presidential candidate, selecting former president José Pardo y Barreda on 28 March. On 25 April the convention selected Ricardo Bentín Sánchez and Melitón Carvajal as candidates for the vice presidencies.
