David Samanez Ocampo (4 November 1865 – 13 July 1947), was a Peruvian politician who was Interim President of Peru (officially as the President of the Southern Junta) in 1931. He oversaw changes to the electoral statutes that effectively brought the vote to the masses, leading to the critical – if highly controversial – presidential election of December 1931, where Sánchez Cerro defeated Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre. Instrumental in his appointment was his reputation and high prestige among politicians of all factions. He was the son of José Samanez. Read more on Wikipedia
