Indirect presidential elections were held in Gran Colombia on 4 May 1830 following the resignation of incumbent president Simón Bolívar. Joaquín Mosquera was elected president, whilst Domingo Caycedo was elected vice president.
Suffering from ill-health, President Bolívar resigned in January 1830 during a Constitutional Convention.[1] He named Domingo Caycedo as his successor until a Congressional vote in May.
Mosquera and Caycedo were forced out of office on 4 September under pressure from the military. General Rafael Urdaneta was appointed interim president the following day whilst a response from Bolívar on whether he would return to the Presidency was awaited. However, he refused to accept the post, and gave his support to Urdaneta. Bolívar died in December.[1]
Following a brief civil war in early 1831, Urdaneta left office and elections were held for a Constituent Assembly. Presidential elections were held the following year.[1]
