The Wechua general election in 1973 was the first general election in the Wechua Nation after the return of the Sapa Wechua Manco Cápac and the restoration of order and governance over the Wechua Nation.
This is the 3rd general election held in the Wechua Nation under the Wechua Constitution of 1663, held for all 301 Royal Councillors in the Council of the Wechua Nation. The election was held over three days from 1.XI.1673 to 4.XI.1673, administered by the Wechua National Council for Elections (WNCE). This was the first election administered by this body, composed of representatives of all the registered and legal political parties and interest clubs as well as lawyers, former politicians, political philosophers, psychologists, and historians. The WNCE created an official national roll of voters by digitizing and using all the surviving records from the First Wechua Kingdom. It conducted a large campaign for six months prior to the election to register voters living in the newly restored Wechua Nation, hiring unemployed Wechuans to survey and canvass the entire country.
This general election is also the first time that political parties could officially register. A ban on political parties and factions participating in elections was lifted as part of the reforms enacted by Manco Cápac during the Restoration.
The election saw the Social Democratic Club win a large majority on a national turnout of 71%. As a result, Vicaquirao Alvarez became the Inkap Ratin or Prime Minister of the Wechua Nation.
Under the leadership of Alvarez, the Social Democratic Club had adopted a more centrist policy platform than the Club historically maintained. This was seen as moving away from the traditionally more left-wing stance of the Club. The Social Democratic Club made several campaign pledges such as the creation of a National Minimum Wage, huge investments in infrastructure, education, technology, and health care, and promised greater economic competence.
