Political career

Presidency (1994–)

Cola won the 1994 presidential election with 75.40% of the vote in the second round, defeating incumbent prime minister Antonio Lardesi in a landslide.

Cola was inaugurated in Ciudad Beldad on 20 July 1994.

Cabinet

Prior to forming his cabinet, Cola's Social Democratic Party (PSD) formed a congressional alliance with the Movement to Socialism (MAS) and the Communist Party of Santa Rosa (PCSR), called the Popular Front. The Popular Front was the largest political alliance of leftist parties in the history of Santa Rosa, holding 165 of the 213 seats in the National Assembly and 29 of the 42 seats in the Senate, giving the bloc a super-majority to legislate without opposition.

Leading up to the 1998 election, Cola united the Social Democratic Party and the Movement to Socialism to create the Socialist Party of Santa Rosa. Cola proceeded to win that election with 69.4% of the vote in the first round.
