First term

In December 1828, under the Plan de Perote, Congress named him vice-president of the Republic under President Vicente Guerrero. He took possession of this office on April 1, 1829, but soon was at odds with Guerrero. On December 4, 1829, in accord with the Plan de Jalapa, he rose against Guerrero, driving him from the capital.

These and other policies stimulated opposition, especially in the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas and Texas. In 1832 a revolt broke out in Veracruz. The rebels asked Antonio López de Santa Anna to take command. When their immediate demands were met (the resignation of some of Bustamante's ministers), they also demanded the president's ouster. They intended to replace him with Manuel Gómez Pedraza, whose 1828 election had been annulled.

After two more battles, the three candidates, Bustamante, Santa Anna and Gómez Pedraza, signed the conventions of Zavaleta (December 21-23), by which Gómez Pedraza was to assume the presidency and hold new elections.
