Eric Arturo Delvalle

Eric Arturo Delvalle, born on February second, nineteen thirty-seven, was a prominent figure in Panamanian politics. He initially served as Vice President under Nicolás Ardito Barletta, a role that positioned him at the heart of the nation's political landscape during a tumultuous period.

Following the controversial elections of nineteen eighty-four, which led to Barletta's forced resignation, Delvalle ascended to the presidency. His tenure as President of Panama began on September twenty-eighth, nineteen eighty-five, and lasted until February twenty-six, nineteen eighty-eight. During this time, he faced significant challenges, including political instability and opposition.

In nineteen eighty-eight, Delvalle made a bold move to oust Manuel Noriega from his position as head of the armed forces. However, this attempt led to his own downfall when he was deposed by the Legislative Assembly. Following his removal from power, Delvalle was forced into hiding and eventually sought exile, marking a dramatic end to his presidency.
