Alfonso Barrantes Lingán served as Mayor of Lima during the mid-1980s, from 1984 to 1986. He holds the distinction of being the first Marxist to hold the office of Mayor of Lima. Earlier in his political career, he stood as a candidate for President of Peru on two separate occasions, though he was unsuccessful in both attempts.

Born in San Miguel de Pallaques and passing away in Havana, his contributions to Peruvian politics are remembered. His time as mayor marked a significant period in the city's governance.
