Biography

In the 1966 Cusco municipal elections, Galindo ran for Provincial Mayor of Cusco Province as part of the coalition between the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance and the Odriist National Union, which he won with 43.299% of the vote. Twenty years later, he ran again for the seat of Provincial Mayor in the 1986 Cuzco municipal elections. He won the seat once again, defeating United Left candidate Daniel Estrada. In the 1990 Peruvian general election, he ran for the Congress of the Republic of Peru, but failed to earn a seat after receiving only 1369 votes. In 2006, he ran for Congress again, hoping to represent the Department of Cuzco, but was again defeated after earning 950 votes.[5]
