Viviane Aleyda Morales Hoyos (born 17 March 1962) was the 7th Attorney General of Colombia and the first woman to hold that post.[1] She was elected by the Supreme Court of Justice out of a list of three candidates presented by President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón that also included Juan Carlos Esguerra Portocarrero and Carlos Gustavo Arrieta Padilla. On 2 March 2012, she resigned days after her election as Attorney General was invalidated by the Council of State due to irregularities in her election.[2] Her resignation was accepted on 5 March 2012 by the Supreme Court.[3]
She has been part of the Colombian Senate since 2014.
She was elected for a term of four years with possibility of unlimited reelection.
She is well known in Colombia as being one of the opposing figures of the same sex marriage, and in particular the adoption of kids by same sex couples.
Currently, Viviane is presidential candidate for the 2018-2022 period. Her vice presidential formula is Jorge Leyva Durán.
