In a twist that’s almost too wild to be true, a small district in Peru has just elected a mayor with a name that could raise eyebrows in any political debate: Hitler Mussolini. Yes, you heard that right! This fascinating piece of news comes from Queropalca, a remote town in the Andean mountains, whose recent democratic choice evokes a cosmic chuckle of irony—especially with the Mercury retrograde shuffle encouraging us to look back at history, maybe this is the universe playfully reminding us of the past. With a population barely above 730, the political landscape is a tight race, with just 25 votes separating the newly minted mayor from his closest competitor. Of course, he’s not the first to wear a name tangled in infamous history; there was also Hitler Guesclin Alba Sánchez, who claimed his name was serendipitous back in 2018! Are these names a reflection of astrological chaos? A cosmic joke? Or just a curious coincidence in the fabric of Peruvian politics? Either way, one thing’s for sure—something tells me this district’s local meetings are going to be more entertaining than your favorite sitcom. Oh, and if you want the full scoop on this head-scratching story, check it out here: LEARN MORE.
A man named Hitler Mussolini has been elected mayor in a small district in Peru, and he’s not the first person with the name to be elected in the country.
Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores, 45, who has been elected mayor of Queropalca, was a candidate for the centre-left Ahora Nación party.
It comes just one year after the newly elected mayor resigned from the right-wing Popular Force party.
The remote district in the Peruvian Andes has an estimated population of just over 730 people.
Flores received 229 votes, accounting for 34.5% of the 663 valid ballots cast. He won by just 25 votes, ahead of his closest rival, Gaspar Benilde Osorio Zambrano, who received 204 votes.
Local media said there were just 45 votes separating the top three candidates, which is not uncommon due to the extremely small population of the district.

As well as the German dictator, Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores also shares his name with Benito Mussolini.
The fascist dictator was the Prime Minister of Italy from 1922 until 1943. He allied Italy with Nazi Germany and Japan during World War II.
Another man with the same first name, Hitler Guesclin Alba Sánchez, was elected as mayor in Yungar in 2018.
“Maybe it’s a coincidence that my name is Hitler,” Sánchez said during the 2018 elections, as per GB News.
“I really don’t have any objection to Hitler. It’s like any other name. For me, it’s as if my name was Juan, Lucas, or Sebastian.”
He also claimed that his father was not aware of dictator Adolf Hitler’s legacy when he named him.

Elsewhere, in 2020, a candidate named Adolf Hitler Uunona won the local elections in Namibia.
“As a child I saw it as a totally normal name,” he told the BBC after winning 85% of the vote.
“It wasn’t until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world,” he said, adding. “I have nothing to do with any of these things.”
He told the outlet that his wife refers to him as Adolf, the name he goes by in public.
Last year, Uunona won his local seat for the fifth time, and despite previously saying he had no plans to change his name, he is now known as Adolf Uunona, having removed Hitler from his name.
“I have seen in the past people calling me Adolf Hitler and trying to associate me with someone I do not even know,” he told the Nambia.
