General elections were held in Cuba on 1 November 1920.[1] Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso won the presidential election, whilst the National League (an alliance of the National Conservative Party and the Cuban Popular Party) emerged as the largest faction in the House of Representatives, winning 31 of the 59 seats.
The Liberal Party accused Zayas and the Conservative Party of election fraud.[2] The U.S. Ambassador to Cuba, Enoch Crowder, substantiated that fraud had occurred. As a consequence, new elections were held in four provinces.
Zayas was inaugurated on May 20, 1921.
The figures do not include the results for Havana Province due to fraud and subsequent re-runs.[3]
