Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores has been crowned mayor of a small town in a local election despite his bizarre name. The candidate ran claiming he was the ‘good’ Hitler
Left-wing politician Hitler Mussolini
A politician who shares his names with two 20th century dictators has become the democratically elected mayor of a town in a bombshell election.
During Hitler Mussolini’s election campaign he assured voters he was a “good” Hitler. The statesman created distance between himself and the genocidal tyrant behind the Holocaust but added he personally didn’t have any objection to the name Hitler.
Speaking to local media, Mayor Hitler Mussolini stated: “Maybe it’s a coincidence that my name is Hitler.” He added: “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.”
The newly elected Peruvian mayor claimed to be the ‘good’ Hitler during the campaign
Voters obviously weren’t fussed by the candidate’s name as Hitler Mussolini won 34% of the vote in Sunday’s election. And was crowned the new Mayor of Queropalca, Peru.
The new Peruvian Mayor – full name Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores – ran for the left-wing Ahora Nacion (Now Nation) party in Peru. The 45-year-old previously was a member of the right-wing Popular Force party before resigning in 2025.
The Popular Force is a populist movement led by Peru’s president, Keiko Fujimori. Fujimori is the daughter of dictator Alberto Fujimori who was president of Peru from 1990 to 2000.
Mayor Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores is not the first man named Hitler to find himself elected to office in Peru.
Previously a man named Hitler Alba served as mayor of the municipality of Yungar.
This mayor represented the center-right party “We Are Peru.” That Hitler held the position of Mayor from 2011 to 2014.
The politician used numerous campaign slogans from “Hitler is back” and “Hitler with the people.” And also – like Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores – he called himself the “good” Hitler.
Mayor Hitler Mussolini isn’t the only Hitler to be democratically elected in recent years
The development comes after an African politician named Adolf Hitler has won his fifth term in office in Namibia.
In his fifth straight election victory over his 30-year career as a district administrator, he said: “I am Adolf Uunona,” changing his name in a bombshell move.
Mr Uunona previously stated he is planning to rename himself to end “associations with someone I do not even know”.
An African politician called Adolf Hitler has enjoyed serious political success despite his previous name
Germanic first names are common in Namibia, as the country was once part of German South West Africa, from 1884 to 1915. Mr Uunona told German newspaper Bild: “As a child I saw it as a totally normal name”.
Mr Uunona, who represents Swapo in the Oshana Regional Council, is fed up of answering questions about his links with his namesake.
“The fact I have this name does not mean I want to conquer Oshana,” he said. “It doesn’t mean I’m striving for world domination.”
