Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores won a local mayoral election in Queropalca, Peru, by just 25 votes out of 663 cast. The district has about 730 residents and Flores ran under the centre-left Ahora Nación party. This is not an isolated incident; another Peruvian named Hitler Alba served as mayor of Yungar between 2011 and 2014, campaigning with slogans like "Hitler returns" despite the controversial nature of his name.
