1910 Surigao's at-large Philippine Assembly district special election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A special election (known elsewhere as "by-elections") for the seat of Surigao's at-large district in the Philippine Assembly, the lower house of the Philippine Legislature of the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands, was held on October 14, 1910. This was triggered due to the death of the incumbent Manuel Gavieres. Governor-General William Cameron Forbes ordered the election to take place.[1] Inocencio Cortes won the special election,[2] retaining Nacionalista Party's control over the seat.
