Cayetano Polo Naharro[1] (born 1973)[2] is a Spanish former politician who was in the Citizens party. He was their leader for the 2019 Extremaduran regional election, where he won a seat in the Assembly of Extremadura.
Born in Cáceres, Polo qualified in Forestry from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and possesses a Master of Business Administration from the EOI Business School.[3] He was uninvolved in politics until 2014, when he joined Citizens due to his admiration of party leader Albert Rivera's liberal policies.[3] The following year, he led the party in his hometown's city council elections, and was elected.[3]
In early 2019, he was the only candidate to lead Citizens in May's Extremaduran elections, as the party's only regional legislator, Victoria Domínguez, declined to stand.[3] They came third, with seven seats and 11.3% of votes.[4]
Polo resigned from his party and his seat in September 2020, due to differences in opinion with the party's national leadership under Rivera's successor, Inés Arrimadas.[5] In November, he was hired as Head of Institutional Relations for Infinity Lithium, an Australian corporation intending to mine for lithium near Cáceres.[6]
