Gonzalo Segundo Córdova y Rivera (15 July 1863 – 13 April 1928) was
President of Ecuador from 1924–1925. Like his immediate predecessors in the Liberal Party, he was considered[by whom?] to be a pawn of "La Argolla" ("the ring"), a plutocracy of coastal agricultural and banking interests whose linchpin was the Commercial and Agricultural Bank of Guayaquil
led by Francisco Urbina Jado.
Popular unrest, together with an ongoing economic crisis and a sickly president, laid the foundations for a bloodless coup d'état against Córdova in July 1925. Unlike previous coups in Ecuador, the 1925 coup was in the name of a collective grouping, the League of Young Officers, rather than a particular caudillo.
He was
President of the Senate
in 1918.
