Background
The Liberal Party was established by Policarpo Bonilla in January 1891 in order to oppose president Luis Bográn. At its founding congress, Bonilla was selected as the party's presidential candidate.[1] Bográn subsequently founded the National Party later in January, which consisted of moderate liberals and supporters of former president José María Medina.[1] However, he did not run for re-election. In February the Progressive Party was established, with Ponciano Leiva as its presidential candidate.[1]
During the campaign, Bonilla called for the granting of women's suffrage.[1] However, his campaign was disrupted by the government invoking emergency powers on the pretext of an uprising.[1]
