Rómulo Gallegos was a very respected venezuelan writer who became the first elected president of the 20th century, though only or 9 months.
He's namesake of the Rómulo Gallegos Prize, one of the most important prizes of the spanish language, perhaps second to the Cervantes Prize.

On a sidenote Mario Vargas Llosa ran for president in Perú, losing against Alberto Fujimori. One was awarded the Nobel Prize and the other is imprisoned, a situation a find very funny.
