He assumed the post of Mayor of Santiago after the death of Patricio Mekis, on 27 January 1979, and remained in office until 3 March 1981,[1] when he was succeeded by Carlos Bombal.[1]
His administration coincided with a period of urban modernization led by the military government.

After his period, he retired from politics.
