General Manuel Bonilla Chirinos (7 June 1849 – 21 March 1913) was a military officer with the rank of Major General and President of Honduras[1] from 13 April 1903 to 25 February 1907, and again from 1 February 1912 to 21 March 1913.[2] He had previously served as Vice President of Honduras from 1895 to 1899.[3]
Manuel Bonilla Chirinos was born in Juticalpa, Olancho, on 7 June 1849.[4][5] His parents were Jorge Bonilla and María Dominga Chirinos. He was initially liberal and active in the Partido Liberal de Honduras[6] (PLH) and led the Manuelistas to form the right-wing Partido Nacional de Honduras[7][8] (PNH).
In December 1910, Bonilla led an insurrection against led President Davila.[9] The United States negotiated an armistice between the factions where it was agreed to hold elections in March 1911.[9]
