Republic of China presidential election, 1923
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 271: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The 1923 Republic of China Presidential Election was the election held on 5 October 1923 in Beijing for the third term of the President of the Republic of China. Zhili warlord Cao Kun won the election through bribery.
The capital was under control of the Zhili Clique after the Zhili-Anhui War. In 1922 the Zhili warlords Wu Peifu and Cao Kun restored the "old" parliament elected in 1912. Cao bribed the congressmen to elect him President. The bribery scandal led to the collapse of Cao's presidency and dismissal of the parliament on 24 November 1924,[1] after the Cao's defeat in the Second Zhili-Fengtian War in 1924.
