Reinaldo José Quijada Cervoni (born November 21, 1959) is a Venezuelan engineer and politician.

[citation needed] In February 1992, when Hugo Chávez's coup d'état was carried out against Carlos Andrés Pérez, he openly supported it.

That same year, he founded with other fellow activists, the Patriotic Front, which supported socialist ideas within the nation.

[citation needed] In 2013, after Chávez's death, the PSUV underwent a series of changes that led Quijada, together with other members of the People's Electoral Movement, to abandon the idea of participating in the government of Nicolás Maduro, and in 2015 he founded the UPP89 party.

[2][3][4] On February 21, 2018, he announced his candidacy in the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election under his UPP89 party, with the main platform of the campaign being to support a revolutionary process that Nicolás Maduro had abandoned.
