Manfred Armando Antonio Reyes Villa Bacigalupi is a Bolivian politician, businessman, and former military officer. He was the mayor of the city of Cochabamba[1] from 1994 to 2000, 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.[2][3]
He was an unsuccessful candidate for president in both 2002 and 2009, being the runner-up in the latter. In 2009, he relocated to the United States, living in Miami for nearly 10 years.[4]
Reyes Villa successfully ran for mayor of Cochabamba once again in the 2021 Bolivian regional elections, winning with 55% of the vote.[5][6]
