Manuel Vitorino

Manuel Vitorino Pereira (30 January 1853 – 9 November 1902) was Governor of Bahia from 1889 to 1890 and the vice president of Brazil, serving under President Prudente de Morais from 1894 to 1898. He also served as the President of the Senate from 1895 to 1898, and as Acting President of Brazil during 3 months.

Vitorino was born in Salvador, Bahia. He was a writer and a physician before entering politics. His political career was ruined when he was implicated in the attempted assassination of Prudente de Morais. After he resigned from politics, he became a journalist and frequently wrote criticism of president Campos Sales, who succeeded Prudente de Morais.
