General elections were held in Cuba on 1 November 1924.[1] Gerardo Machado won the presidential election running under the Liberal–Popular Coalition banner, whilst the coalition also emerged as the largest faction in the House of Representatives, winning 31 of the 53 seats. Following the elections, which were deemed to be fraudulent, Machado established a dictatorship that lasted until he was overthrown in 1933.[2]
