1901 Riograndense general election (Rags to Riches)

The 1901 Riograndense general election was the eleventh sexennial general election, held on August 11, 1901. The election was the end of a seismic shift in Riograndense politics. The realignment of the Liberal Party that had begun during the 1877 election, as the remnants of the Liberal Party departed for either the Radical Party or the new Republican Liberal Party, formed around Vice President Borges de Medeiros. The election marked the solidification of the Labor Party.
