Manuel Vitorino Pereira (30 January 1853 – 9 November 1902) was
Governor of Bahia from 1889 to 1890 and the second
vice president of Brazil, serving under President
Prudente de Morais from 1894 to 1898. He also served as the
President of the Senate from 1895 to 1898, and as
Acting President of Brazil during 3 months.
Vitorino was born in
Salvador, Bahia. He was a writer and a physician before entering politics. His political career was ruined when he was implicated in the
attempted assassination of Prudente de Morais. After he resigned from politics, he became a journalist and frequently wrote criticism of president
Campos Sales, who succeeded Prudente de Morais.
