Keiko Fujimori's Inauguration Sparks Senate Presidency Win and Cabinet Lineup

Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as Peru's first female president on 28 July 2026 in a ceremony held in the Congress hemicycle. The event attracted a large diplomatic delegation, including Spain’s King Felipe VI, Argentina’s President Javier Milei, Chile’s President José Antonio Kast, Bolivia’s President Rodrigo Paz, and U.S. Vice‑Secretary of State Christopher Landau, who attended on behalf of President Donald Trump.

Ahead of the inauguration, the newly restored Senate elected Miguel Torres of the Popular Force party as its president with 30 of 60 votes, narrowly defeating the opposition list. In the lower chamber, Óscar Reto of the Partido del Buen Gobierno was chosen as President of the Chamber of Deputies.

Fujimori also announced her first cabinet: Luis Galarreta was named President of the Council of Ministers, Elmer Cuba will head the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and Carlos Espá was appointed Minister of Foreign Relations. The transition period saw several foreign leaders travel to Lima, while a few, such as Dominican President Luis Abinader, cancelled their trips.
