1936 Panamanian General Election
General elections were held in Panama on 7 June 1936, electing both a new President of the Republic and a new National Assembly. According to Thomas L. Pearcy, "Instead of supporting the candidate of his own Liberal Doctrinaire Party (Domingo Díaz Arosemena), the President Harmodio Arias Madrid supported Juan Demóstenes Arosemena Barreati, his minister of foreign relations.
