Ninfa Huarachi

Ninfa Huarachi Condori (born 24 December 1955) is a Bolivian politician and trade unionist who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from Tarija from 2010 to 2015.

Ninfa Huarachi was born on 24 December 1955 in Cotagaita,[1] an agrarian settlement in the Quechua-populated Andean high plain, part of the Nor Chichas Province of southeastern Potosí Department.

[4] As a member of the informal economy, Huarachi integrated the various gremios 'guilds' representing Tarija's small traders[β] – and, to a lesser extent, led community organizing efforts in the city's fast-growing outer neighborhoods.

[1] Longtime adherence to left-wing viewpoints and early support for then-trade unionist Evo Morales led Huarachi to join the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP) in 1999.

[11] Elected to run by a grassroots congress of MAS-aligned organizations, Huarachi was included as a party-list candidate for Chamber of Deputies, representing Tarija, and won the seat.

[18] Remarking at an event commemorating its enactment, Rodolfo Mancilla of the Federation of Guild Workers of El Alto [es] lauded Huarachi as "the cornerstone" of the law's development.

President Luis Arce enacts a law guaranteeing the rights of guild members, which was drafted in its initial stages by Huarachi.
