The1943 Philippine presidential election was held on September 25, 1943, at the midst ofWorld War II.
The Japanese-sponsoredSecond Philippine Republic merged all parties into theKALIBAPI, thereby creating aone-party state. All of the members of theNational Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic, whowere elected earlier in the week, were members of the KALIBAPI. Pursuant to the 1943 constitution,Jose P. Laurel was unanimously elected president by the National Assembly.[1]Jorge B. Vargas originally wanted to run against Laurel, but acquiesced on election eve, and consequently campaigned for the latter. The Japanese also wantedManuel Roxas to run, but he declined due to ill health for being incarcerated earlier in the year.
