Gumersindo Magaña Negrete (5 December 1939[1] – 16 April 2013) was a Mexican politician from Uruapan, Michoacán. A member of the right-wing and now dissolved Mexican Democratic Party (PDM), he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1979 election.[2]
He later represented his party in the 1988 presidential election, in which faced Carlos Salinas, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, Rosario Ibarra and Manuel Clouthier.[3] In spite of the hopes expressed by Magaña during the electoral campaign, his party managed to obtain only 199,484 of the votes (1.04%), a very distant fourth place, causing the party to lose its registration, which it recovered three more times until definitively losing it in the mid-term federal elections of 1997.
Magaña retired from political life in 1988 and was not a registered member of any party. He died in 2013 in the city of San Luis Potosí.[4]
