Fujimori’s Spouse, an American: Peru’s Next First Gentleman?

Fujimoris Spouse, an American: Perus Next First Gentleman?
Mark Villanella, born in New Jersey, cannot run for President in his adopted home of Peru, but he just might be the hottest property in the final weeks of Peru’s hard-fought presidential campaign.

Villanella, 35, is married to Peruvian Congresswoman Keiko Fujimori, who is ahead in the polls two weeks before the June 5 votes. With her lead at 3 to 5 points over the leftist Ollanta Humala in most surveys, Villanella’s chances of becoming the first First Gentleman of Peru — and the first American man anywhere to be the consort of a female President in office — are looking good.
