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 second runner 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]
