Claudia Ruiz Delao OAD Ph.D (born 1966) is an Alconbrian politician and former political analyst, and the Chairwoman of the Alconbria People's Party from 2021, and after previously serving from 2005 till 2016. She was the Chairwoman of Abystato since its inception in 2008 till 2016. She also served as Ernesto Titeriez's Chief-of-Staff from 2001 till 2007.
She was born in 1966 in Altivebrian-held Avatoes, her father worked as a car salesman, and her mother was a former basketball player. In 1969, her family moved to the Alconbrian Republic after her father joined the OLE. She spent the rest of her childhood in Alcacer. In 1980, at the age of 14, she joined the NFAL Youth Wing.
She joined the ORA in 1984, at the age of 18. She killed over 30 Altivebrian civilians during the 1987 Saviedo massacre, and her involvement was hidden by the NFAL. She is considered as a terrorist in many parts of Central America. In 1987, she got a bachelors degree in mathematics, and briefly served as an instructor to female cadets in the Military of Alconbria.

In 1988, she became the leader of the NFAL Women Wing, and was a leading member of the Starigo Verklagsregluro, and later worked in Alconbria's foreign ministry. She left the Foreign Ministry in 1993, and worked as a political analyst. Her crowd-pulling capabilities did not go unnoticed, and she joined the Alconbria People's Party in 1996, during the Milven Crisis, and was heavily influenced by the Alconaciost faction. Cementing her status as an international feminist icon, she was an active campaigner for the APP, and was the campaign manager for Ernesto Titeriez' 2001 Presidential campaign, which he successfully won. During Titeriez' tenure, she acted as the unofficial Alconacioist whip in the Léialegis after she was appointed as Titeriez's Chief of Staff. During Titeriez' presidency, she grew to overshadow party Chairman Rorid Silhavo, and is believed to be one of the architects of the 2005 Alconbrian constitutional crisis. During the constitutional crisis, she handled the dismantling of the Léialegis, and negotiating surrender agreements with the defecting Progessive Union lawmakers. She is believed to have an important role in the 500 Operation, which resulted her in being appointed as the Chairwoman of the APP in 2005.

Claudia is the only woman political party leader in Alconbria. She is also the highest paid non-office holding politician in Alconbria, as well as one of the richest politicians of Alconbria. She lives in a colonial Spanish castle, which belonged to the Palomo family, a family of Altivebrian aristocrats driven out and killed by the Alconbrians during the civil war. The castle, known as Castillo de los Palomos was changed to Castillo Delao. She also owns the Palaco Somero in Isla Stagna. She purchased the Flovez Chambero, and resided there from 2002 till 2004, when it became a tourist destination, and the income generated would go straight to social welfare. She was sent three red notices by the ETRA in 2010, 2011 and 2015 respectively, and gave away property reportedly worth around 8 million moneros (4 million USD). She married chemical engineer Marcelino Delao in 1989, and they have two sons and a daughter. Her first son is a senior biological researcher, while her second son is the editor for a newspaper, and her daughter is the commanding officer of the ANS Majava.
