1957 Philippine general election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Presidential, legislative and local elections were held on November 12, 1957 in the Philippines. Incumbent President Carlos P. Garcia won his opportunity to get a full term as President of the Philippines after the death of late President Ramon Magsaysay in a plane crash in March 1957. His running mate, Batangas Representative Jose Laurel, Jr. lost to Pampanga Representative Diosdado Macapagal. This was the first time in Philippine electoral history where a president was elected by a plurality and not majority, and in which the president and vice president came from different parties.
