Ollanta Moisés Humala Tasso (Spanish pronunciation:[oˈʝantamojˈsesuˈmalaˈtaso]; born 27 June 1962) is a Peruvian politician and former military officer who served as President of Peru from 2011 to 2016. Originally a socialist and left-wing nationalist, he is considered to have shifted towards neoliberalism and the political centre during his presidency.[1][2]
Born to a prominent political family affiliated with the ethnocacerist movement, Humala is the son of famed Quechua labour lawyer Isaac Humala. Humala entered the Peruvian Army in 1981, eventually achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel. During his time in the military, he fought in the internal conflict against left-wing terrorist group Shining Path as well as in the Cenepa War with neighboring Ecuador. In October 2000, Humala attempted an unsuccessful coup d'etat against President Alberto Fujimori during the dying days of his regime;[3] eventually, the Congress of the Republic of Peru granted him amnesty and Humala was allowed to return to military duty.[4]
In 2005, Humala entered electoral politics, founding the Peruvian Nationalist Party (PNP) in order to run in the 2006 Peruvian general election. Having received first place in the first round, he faced former centre-left president and Peruvian Aprista Party nominee Alan García in the second round, ultimately losing by a narrow margin. His campaign received widespread international attention in 2006 given the pink tide in Latin America.[5] In the 2011 Peruvian general election, he narrowly defeated Keiko Fujimori in the runoff.
To assuage fears of potential radical policies, Humala began his term by choosing centrists for positions in his cabinet.[6] Humala's unpopular presidency was dominated by corruption scandals surrounding him and his politically influential wife Nadine Heredia.[7][8] Environmentalists were highly critical of Humala's mining policies, and argued that he reneged on his campaign promise to rein in mining companies.[9][10]
In 2017, Humala was arrested by Peruvian authorities on corruption charges.[11] Humala attempted a political comeback in the 2021 presidential election, but only received 1.5% of the vote, finishing in 13th place.[12][13]
