General elections were held in Paraguay on 9 February 1958.[1] At the time, the Colorado Party was the only legally permitted party.[2] As such, incumbent president Alfredo Stroessner was unopposed for a full term;[3] he had been in office since 1954 by virtue of winning a special election for the remainder of Federico Chávez' second term.[4]
