The Chilean presidential election of 1932 was held on October 30 of that year between:

• Former President Arturo Alessandri for the Liberal Party.
• Former Head of State Marmaduque Grove for the Socialist Party.
• Hector Rodriguez de la Sotta for the Conservative Party.
• Enrique Zañartu Prieto for the United Liberal Party.
• Elías Lafferte for the Communist Party.

This became a decisive election on Chilean history, which positively closed the so-called <<Nitrate Era>> and integrally opened the <<Second Presidential Era>> which similarly to other South American countries, its main characteristics were the predominance of center-left presidents and a big intervention of the State on development.

Background

The election took place roughly a year after the previous election, but political and economical instability caused by the Great Depression which took its bottom point in mid-1932, did only make the situation turn worse. President Montero had to resign shortly after a mutiny led by Marmaduque Grove, who headed the Socialist Republic of Chile until being overtrown by former-ally Carlos Davila who also became overtrown, this time by Bartolome Blanche who 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.
