Manfred Reyes Villa
Manfred Armando Antonio Reyes Villa Bacigalupi is a Bolivian politician, businessman, and former military officer. He was elected mayor of the city of Cochabamba five consecutive times, and became the elected Prefect of the Department of Cochabamba from 2006 until 2008 when he was recalled in that year's no confidence referendum. He was an unsuccessful candidate for president in both 2002 and 2009, being the second runner in the latter. In 2009, he fled to the United States via Peru to avoid political persecution from the government of Morales, living in Miami for nearly 10 years. Reyes Villa successfully ran for mayor of Cochabamba once again in the 2021 Bolivian regional elections, winning with 55% of the vote. References
