Torrijos never held elected office in Panama, and was never President. He did hold the title of Maximum Leader of the Panamanian Revolution from 1972 to 1978. 2) General Manuel Noriega is often wrongly credited as being President of Panama from around 1983 to his arrest and capture by US forces in 1989. Though he held much de facto power over Panama during this period, he was never legally president and co-existed with the actual presidents of the time.
