Latest News

Martín Erasto Torrijos Espino (born July 18, 1963, in Chitré, Herrera) is a Panamanian politician and the current President of the Republic of Panama.

Torrijos was elected President on May 2, 2004. As the candidate of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) – running as the Patria Nueva alliance, with the support of the smaller People's Party (PP) – Torrijos won the presidential election with about 47% of the vote, defeating three rivals. His closest challenger, former President Guillermo Endara of the Solidarity Party, conceded defeat after finishing 17 percentage points behind Torrijos.

The result had been widely expected: prior to the vote, Torrijos was well ahead of his three competitors in the opinion polls. He took office on September 1, 2004.
