Thelma Cabrera

Thelma Cabrera Pérez de Sánchez (born September 21,1970) is an Indigenous (Maya Mam) rights activist and politician. Cabrera ran for president of Guatemala in 2019 as part of the political party, Movement for the Liberation of Peoples. She finished fourth in the 2019 election garnering 10.3% of the popular vote, the highest vote total for an indigenous candidate in Guatemalan history.

She attempted to run again in the 2023 election, but was barred from registering, because her running mate, Jordán Rodas, did not supply a letter certifying that no corruption cases are open against him. Other politicians with pending corruption cases were allowed register. Cabrera has not ruled out a presidential run in 2027.
