A number of current and recent Latin American leaders were also in power in the 1980's: Alan Garcia, Oscar Arias, Daniel Ortega, Desi Bouterse.
So which of today's leaders have a shot of leaving power and being back around 2030 or so? Age plays an important role in this question, but political strength clearly doesn't. If anything, Alan Garcia and Daniel Ortega prove that a leader can leave in disgrace or face serious scandal and make a political comeback anyway.
Just based on age, top picks should be Mauricio Funes, Laura Chinchilla, Rafael Correa, Ollanta Humala, and Michel Martelly.
