Laureano
Gómez was inaugurated as the 24th President of Colombia after winning an
election boycotted by the rival Liberal Party. In November 1951, poor health
led him to cede presidential power to Roberto Urdaneta Arbelaez. On June 13,
1953, when he tried to resume his presidency, he was overthrown in a military
coup led by Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. During the three
decades prior to being elected president, Gómez was a radical leader of the
Conservative Party, widely considered to be one of the most potent orators of
the Congress of Colombia
