Luis Gallego

Luis Gallego Condori (born 21 June 1968) is a Bolivian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Potosí, representing circumscription 39 from 2010 to 2015.

Born in a peasant community in one of the least developed regions of rural Potosí, Gallego completed only portions of his primary education before dropping out to focus on agricultural work.

He registered his candidacy with the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP) – a party he had been an active member of since 2005 – and was presented to run in Potosí's circumscription 39, encompassing his home Bustillo Province.

He won the race handily, defeating his next closest competitor by a wide margin, although his percentage is diluted down to a 42.1 percent plurality when the high tally of blank and null votes are taken into account.

He successfully procured a collective ownership title in favor of the Chullpa ayllu and was a leading proponent of the bill that declared the waters of the disputed Silala River a strategic natural resource of the state.
