  • The Partido Agrícola was a political party of Costa Rica. It was founded for the 1923 general election and ran as candidate the wealthy aristocrat and lawyer Alberto Echandi Montero, father of the future president Mario Echandi Jiménez. The party held a convention at the El Trébol Theater to select its presidential candidate, choosing Echandi over former president Rafael Yglesias Castro. Although Yglesias had asked to vote for Echandi because he claimed to be tired of politics. During the campaign, the party faced ex-president Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno of the social-liberal National Republican Party and ex-priest and ex-military Jorge Volio Jiménez of the leftist Reformist Party. Both parties had more ideological closeness to each other because they had socially more progressive positions, while Echandi was seen as the candidate of the oligarchy, so they both focused on fighting Echandi. None of the candidates got enough votes to win in the first round, thus the Constitution prescribed that it corresponded to the Constitutional Congress (parliament) to elect the president from among the candidates. The Agricultural Party obtained the majority in the Parliament, but the combined votes of Republicans and Reformists surpassed it, so the Congress finally elected Jiménez as president and Volio as vice president, relegating the echandismo that tried unsuccessfully to break the quorum. Echandi would continue his political career later getting to obtain important diplomatic and ministerial positions, but the Agricultural Party would disappear, dissolving on January 6, 1926. (en)
  • El Partido Agrícola fue un partido político de Costa Rica. Se fundó de cara a las elecciones presidenciales de 1923 y postuló como candidato al adinerado aristócrata y abogado Alberto Echandi Montero, padre del futuro presidente Mario Echandi Jiménez. El partido realizó una convención en el Teatro El Trébol para seleccionar a su candidato presidencial, imponiéndose Echandi sobre el expresidente Rafael Yglesias Castro.​ Si bien Yglesias había pedido que se votara por Echandi pues adujo encontrarse cansado.​ Durante la campaña el partido enfrentó al expresidente Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno del socio-liberal Partido Republicano Nacional y al exsacerdote y exmilitar Jorge Volio Jiménez del izquierdista Partido Reformista. Ambos partidos tenían más cercanía ideológica entre sí porque tenían posturas socialmente más progresistas, mientras que Echandi era visto como el candidato de la oligarquía, así que se enfocaron en combatir a Echandi.​ Ninguno de los candidatos obtuvo suficientes votos para ganar en primera ronda, por lo que la Constitución prescribía que le correspondiera al Congreso Constitucional elegir al presidente de entre los candidatos. El Partido Agrícola obtuvo la mayoría en el Parlamento,​ pero los votos conjuntos del republicanismo y el reformismo le superaban por lo que el Congreso eligió finalmente a Jiménez como presidente y a Volio como vicepresidente, dejando relegado al echandismo que intentó infructuosamente romper el cuórum.​ Echandi seguiría su carrera política posteriormente llegando a obtener importantes cargos diplomáticos y ministeriales, pero el Partido Agrícola desaparecería, disolviéndose el 6 de enero de 1926.​ (es)
