Humberto Lugo Gil was born into a prominent political family from Huichapan, Hidalgo. He was related to the governors Bartolomé Vargas Lugo [es], José Lugo Guerrero (his father), Javier Rojo Gómez [es], Jorge Rojo Lugo, and Adolfo Lugo Verduzco.

During his political career he held numerous official positions: general secretary of the National Confederation of Popular Organizations (CNOP) in 1979–1983,[3] general manager of Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares during the government of Miguel de la Madrid, two-time federal deputy (1967–1970 and 1982–1985, for Hidalgo's fifth district on both occasions), and two-time senator for Hidalgo (1976–1982 and 1988–1994). In 1982, during his second term as a deputy, he was elected president of the Chamber of Deputies[4] and, in that capacity, he gave the official reply to the State of the Nation report in which President José López Portillo announced the nationalization of the country's private banks.[3]

Following the resignation of Jesús Murillo Karam, he was appointed the interim governor of Hidalgo (1998–1999).[2]

Lugo Gil died on 9 May 2013 in Mexico City.[2]
