Rómulo Roux
Rómulo Roux is a Panamanian politician and lawyer, known for his role as the former president of the Democratic Change party. He gained prominence after winning the party's internal elections in 2018, subsequently taking over leadership from Ricardo Martinelli, the party's founder. Roux was the presidential candidate for his party in the 2019 elections, where he focused on issues such as corruption and economic reform. His political career has been marked by efforts to distance his party from the controversial legacy of Martinelli, especially in light of ongoing corruption investigations in Panama.
