The 1941 Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections were held on November 11, 1941, a month before the
Attack on Pearl Harbor; and subsequently, the
Japanese invasion of the Philippines, which brought the Philippines and the United States to the
Second World War. Incumbent President
Manuel Luis Quezon won an unprecedented second partial term as
President of the Philippines in a landslide. His running mate, Vice President
Sergio Osmeña, also won via landslide. The elected officials however, did not serve their terms from 1942 to 1945 due to
World War II. In 1943, a
Japanese-sponsored Republic was established and appointed
Jose P. Laurel as president. From 1943 to 1945, the Philippines had two presidents. Quezon died in 1944 of
tuberculosis and was replaced by
Sergio Osmeña.
Results
Quezon and Osmeña performed better than their
1935 poll performance, winning all the provinces. Their feat as a tandem is unmatched to date.
