{{main|Tejeros Convention}}
Conflict within the ranks of the Katipunan factions, specifically between the [[Magdalo (Katipunan faction)|Magdalo]] and [[Magdiwang (Katipunan faction)|Magdiwang]], led to the Imus assembly in Cavite Province, presided over by Bonifacio.{{sfn|Agoncillo|1990|pp=178–182}} The rebels of Cavite were rumored to have made overtures to establish a revolutionary government in place of the Katipunan.{{sfn|Agoncillo|1990|p=182}} Though Bonifacio already considered the Katipunan to be a government, he acquiesced and presided over a [[Tejeros Convention|convention]] held on March 22, 1897, in Tejeros, San Francisco de Malabon, Cavite. Aguinaldo was elected president, even though he was occupied with military matters in Imus and not in attendance. [[Mariano Trias]] was elected as vice-president, [[Artemio Ricarte]] as captain-general, Emiliano Riego de Dios as the director of war, and [[Andres Bonifacio]] as director of the interior. The results were questioned by [[Daniel Tirona]] for Bonifacio's qualifications for that position. Bonifacio was insulted and declared, "I, as chairman of this assembly, and as President of the Supreme Council of the Katipunan, as all of you do not deny, declare this assembly dissolved, and I annul all that has been approved and resolved."{{sfn|Agoncillo|1990|p=178}} Regardless of the nullification, Aguinaldo traveled surreptitiously to San Francisco de Malabon where, on the evening of March 23, he took an oath assuming the office to which he had been elected as [[Generalissimo]] of the Philippine Islands.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Obc7AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA34|magazine=The Philippine Review|volume=III|number=1–2 |year=1918|page=34|title=Andres Bonifacio|author=Epifanio de los Santos|authorlink=Epifanio de los Santos
