Alberto Abdala

Alberto Abdala (Arabic: البرتو عبد الله; 8 April 1920 – 13 January 1986) was an Uruguayan attorney, politician, painter and Vice-President from 1967 to 1972.

He served as Interior Minister and later as member of the National Council of Government (Uruguay).

Some members of the faction insisted that Abdala should be the presidential candidate representing this sector, including Luis Batlle'son, Jorge Batlle.

Ultimately, Abdala refused to run and future President Jorge Batlle was finally selected.

Abdala was succeeded 1972 as Vice President of Uruguay by Jorge Sapelli, whose differences with the Administration in which he served would, unlike Abdala, lead him to repudiate the office of Vice President, and which thus went into abeyance for many years.
