Héctor Yunes Landa

Héctor Yunes Landa (born 27 September 1958) is a Mexican politician previously affiliated with the PRI. From 2012 to 2016, he represented Veracruz as a senator in the LXII and LXIII Legislatures of the Mexican Congress. He also served as Deputy from 1985 to 1988 in the LIII Legislature.

Life Yunes graduated from the Universidad Veracruzana in 1982 with a degree in law, though his political career had begun as early as 1977, when he joined the PRI. During the election, Yunes Landa "lamented" his familial relationship with Yunes Linares, who he said had "insulted" his family. Five parties ultimately backed Yunes Landa's candidacy: the PRI, PVEM, Nueva Alianza, PT and Alternativa Veracruzana, a state party. Yunes Landa picked up 30.1 percent of the vote but lost to Yunes Linares, who became the first non-PRI governor of the state in 86 years.
