Presidential elections were held in Peru on 7 May 1876. Mariano Ignacio Prado of the Civilista Party was elected with 96% of the vote.

Background

Former army general and president Mariano Ignacio Prado, who had served as Secretary of Finance under outgoing president Manuel Pardo, started his election campaign in May 1875.

The ruling Civilista Party initially nominated José Simeón Tejeda [es] as its presidential candidate. However, Tejeda died shortly before the election campaign was due to begin. The party subsequently adopted Prado as its candidate in January 1876.

Prado was opposed by another military figure, Lizardo Montero Flores, who ran as an independent candidate.

Electoral system

The elections were indirect, with the president elected by the same electoral college elected in October 1875 that elected the Congress.

Conduct

The elections were marked by violence.

Results

Aftermath

Prado survived a coup attempt in May 1877 but was removed from office by a successful coup in December 1879, when he was replaced by Nicolás de Piérola.
