In 1945, José Luis Bustamante y Rivero had attained the presidency with the help of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA). Soon, major disagreements arose between Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, the founder of APRA, and President Bustamante y Rivero. The President disbanded his Aprista cabinet and replaced it with a mostly military one. Odría, a fierce opponent of APRA, was appointed Minister of Government and Police. In 1948, Odría and other right-wing elements urged Bustamante y Rivero to ban APRA. When the President refused, Odría resigned his post. On October 29, 1948, he led a successful military coup against the government and took over as president. 1945 was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Odría's presidency, known as the ochenio,was similar to the dictatorship of Juan Perón in Argentina. Odría came down hard on APRA, momentarily pleasing the oligarchy and all others on the right, but like Perón, he followed a populist course that won him great favor with the poor and lower classes. A thriving economy allowed him to indulge in expensive but crowd-pleasing social policies. At the same time, however, civil rights were severely restricted and corruption was rampant throughout his régime. It was feared that his dictatorship would run indefinitely so it came as a surprise when Odría allowed national elections in 1956 and announced that he would not be a candidate. He was succeeded by a former president, Manuel Prado y Ugarteche. Juan Domingo Perón (October 8, 1895 – July 1, 1974) was an Argentine military officer and the President of Argentina from 1946 to 1955 and from 1973 to 1974. ...

National elections were again held in 1962 and Odría ran as a right-wing candidate for the Unión Nacional Odriista party. The initial election found none of the three major candidates - Odría, Haya de la Torre and Fernando Belaúnde Terry - receiving the required one third of the vote. It appeared that Odría would win the Presidency in Congress, after having made a deal with Haya de la Torre, but a military coup removed President Prado from office only a few days before his term ended. Elections were again held in 1963 with the same three major candidates. This time Belaúnde won with 36% of the vote. 1962 was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...

During the Belaunde Administration, Odría made an alliance with Haya de la Torre to create a single opposition block on Parliament, which became known as the APRA-UNO Coalition. As a political force, they managed to create a strong Parliament force against President Belaunde, who was forced to make important concessions to the Coalition in order to get most of his party-sponsored legislation enacted. The Coalition suffered a setback after loosing the elections for Mayor in the capital, Lima.

After the Military Coup that overthrew Belaunde, Odría kept a low profile in Peruvian Politics until his death in 1974.
