xxx: In 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, a "Brazilian Banana Party" (which, in fact, was a group of humorists) at the next election under the slogan "Vote monkey - get monkey" nominated a cute monkey Tiao, living in a local zoo, as a candidate for mayor. The chimpanzee, by the way, was sweet only in appearance - he had a bad mood and constantly kicked something in the visitors.
The Banana Party has nominated chimpanzees to the election in order to highlight the failure of the other candidates. However, they did not assume the high electoral support of the sweet Tiao. Chimpanzee won 400,000 votes in the elections, thus reaching 9.5% and obtaining his legitimate third place (among twelve candidates). Tiao died in 1996 at the age of 33. In his honor in the zoo even put a monument, and he also entered the Guinness Book of Records, as the chimpanzee, which got the most votes in the election :)
xxx:this item, by the way, can be challenged - I definitely know the monkey, who recently won the presidential election, gaining a lot more votes)))
