Alcalde de Lima

Alfonso Barrantes Lingán served as the Mayor of Lima for a period between 1984 and 1986. He is noted as the first Marxist mayor of the city. His political career also included two unsuccessful bids for the presidency of Peru. Born in San Miguel de Pallaques, his public service centred on his role in the capital during the mid-1980s.

Lingán's time as mayor represents a significant moment in Lima's political history. His presidential campaigns underscore his broader national ambitions. He passed away in Havana in 2000, leaving behind a distinct political legacy in Peru.
