1908 Manila's 1st Philippine Assembly district special elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two special elections (known elsewhere as "by-elections") for Manila's 1st (North) district's seat in the Philippine Assembly, the lower house of the Philippine Legislature of the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands, were held on 1908. Justo Lukban won the second election, after Dominador Gómez, winner of the 1907 general election, was expelled from office, then won the first special election, finally only to resign his rights as member of the assembly. The district then consisted of the entire district of Tondo, Binondo, San Nicolas, and Intramuros.
