Eduardo Manuitt Carpio (born 28 July 1950) is a
Venezuelan politician. He was the co-founder of the party
La Causa Radical and represented it in the Venezuelan Congress. When La Causa split in the late 1990s, he became a leader of the
Patria Para Todos (PPT) faction, and represented it in Congress. He was the Governor of
Guárico state from 1999 to 2008, originally for the PPT, and later for the
PSUV.
Manuitt won the gubernatorial elections in 1998, 1999 (under the new
Constitution of Venezuela) and 2004 as a PPT candidate. In 2007 he joined the newly created
PSUV, but was subsequently expelled after supporting his daughter's PPT candidacy for governor, after she had failed in the PSUV primaries to be nominated as the PSUV candidate.
