Vice-president Julio Lozano Díaz seized power in a coup, abruptly ending three decades of stable government in Honduras, of which Carías had been president for 16 of those years.

The long-fragmented conservatives had reunited in the form of the National Party of Honduras ( Partido Nacional de Honduras — PNH ), which ran as its candidate General Tiburcio Carías Andino, the governor of the department of Cortés.

General Carías and a variety of other rebel leaders controlled most of the countryside but failed to coordinate their activities effectively enough to seize the capital.

These pressures ultimately helped persuade Carías to withdraw his candidacy and also helped ensure the defeat of an uprising led by General Gregorio Ferrera of the PNH.

The ruling PNH nominated General Carías while the PLH, united again following the death of Policarpo Bonilla in 1926, nominated Vicente Mejía Colindres.

Mejía Colindres won a decisive victory — obtaining 62, 000 votes to 47, 000 for Carías.

Meanwhile, the PNH, at the president's direction, began a propaganda campaign stressing that only the continuance of Carías in office could give the nation continued peace and order.

The method chosen by Carías to extend his term of office was to call a constituent assembly that would write a new constitution and select the individual to serve for the first presidential term under that document.

The PLH and other opponents of the government reacted to these changes by attempting to overthrow Carías.

Despite strong government measures, tension continued to grow, and Carías was ultimately forced to release some prisoners.

The military remained loyal, and Carías continued in office.

Carías, who by then was in his early seventies, ultimately yielded to these pressures and announced October 1948 elections, in which he would refrain from being a candidate.
