Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores, a 45-year-old candidate, has been elected as the next mayor of the rural municipality of Queropalca in the Huánuco region of Peru. He secured the victory by a margin of 25 votes and is scheduled to assume office on January 1. He is affiliated with a center-left political party.

The election has garnered international media attention primarily due to the candidate's given names, which correspond to two historical figures associated with 20th-century European fascism. The unusual nature of the name has made the local electoral result a subject of global interest.
