Composition

First cabinet

edit

On 27 November 1934, President Daniel Salamanca travelled to the military headquarters in Villamontes in order to personally reorganize the high command of the armed forces. Considering this, Vice President José Luis Tejada Sorzano assumed office as acting president in Salamanca's absence on 28 November.[7] By that point, the military had already ousted Salamanca in a coup d'état the day prior. On 29 November, Salamanca's cabinet submitted its resignation and Tejada Sorzano, still acting president, formed a new one.[8] Tejada Sorzano formally assumed office as president on 1 December when a military commission arrived to deliver Salamanca's official resignation.[9]

The only holdover from the previous administration was Foreign Minister David Alvéstegui Laredo who had been serving since 22 March. When Alvéstegui suddenly resigned on 5 April 1935, the position remained vacant though Carlos Víctor Aramayo, a prominent tin magnate and Minister of Finance, did hold the office as acting minister for a few days. Former President Bautista Saavedra was briefly Minister of National Defense for 14 days after which he was replaced by Gabriel Gosálvez.

Second and third cabinets

edit

Tejada Sorzano's second cabinet was formed on 12 April 1935.[10] The vacancy in the Foreign Ministry was filled by Minister of Government and Justice Tomás Manuel Elío. That ministry was in turn filled by José Aguirre Espada.[11]

Tejada Sorzano's third cabinet was formed on 6 September 1935. It was under this government that Tejada Sorzano was overthrown in a coup d'état in May 1936. Many ministers who served in his administration would support his ouster and join the government of his successor, David Toro. These included: Enrique Baldivieso, Gabriel Gosálvez, Antenor Ichazo, Luis Añez Rodríguez, and Alfredo Peñaranda.
