He was the [[Prime Minister of Peru]] from 17 May 1988 through 15 May 1989 during [[Alan García]]'s first presidency. == Political career == At the age of 15 Villanueva became a member of APRA's ''[[Juventud Aprista Peruana]]'' in opposition to the military dictatorship of [[Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro]]. At the age of 18 he was imprisoned in [[El Frontón]] prison (located on the small island of ''[[San Lorenzo Island, Peru|San Lorenzo]]'' off the coast of [[Callao]], Lima's main port) for his subversive activities in Peru. He was a political ally and personal friend of [[Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre]], the founder and most prominent leader of the APRA party. Villanueva spent most of his early life in different prisons for his political activities. In 1940, along with other APRA political activists, Villanueva was exiled to [[Chile]]. Between the 1940s and 1960s Villanueva spent his time in between Peruvian prisons and deportations to Chile and [[Argentina]]. While living in [[Santiago]] he met and married Lucia Ortega.
