Representative Commission, to vote in the capital city The Commission would elect a new governor who could not be either Lavalle or Rosas Both armies would be commanded by the new governor In a second part of the agreement they decided that: To avoid electoral conflicts, there would be one list of candidates for Representatives The governor's election would be to Félix Álzaga, to whom they imposed the names of his ministers, half Federales, half Unitarians. Failure of the Pact The Unitarians interpreted this agreement of Lavalle as treason, and even though they created a unity electoral list, on the eve of the election, they presented a second list, including only Unitarians. As the city of Buenos Aires was controlled by Unitarian troops, the rebel list triumphed without dissent. Rosas refused to accept the results of the election, refused to lift the siege and closed all the entrances to the city, restarting the attacks on the Buenos Aires army. Lavalle, who had personally signed this agreement in Cañuelas, and his followers, who admitted they had underestimated Rosas, started negotiations anew. The result of this would be the Barracas Convention, where they would recall the Legislature from the times of Dorrego and general Juan José Viamonte would assume a provisional government. A few months later, Lavalle and his officers went to exile and Rosas became governor.
