The death of President Tomás Berreta, and the succession to the presidency of Luis Batlle Berres, determined that Alfeo Brum, the first Senator of the Batllismo faction's Senate list, took over the Vice-Presidency for the rest of the period, until March 1951.
Martínez Trueba and the Colorado Party won the elections, and Alfeo Brum went on to serve as Vice President from 1951 to 1955.
