The presidency of Dina Boluarte began with her inauguration as the president of Peru on 7 December 2022,immediately following the removal of Pedro Castillo from office in the aftermath of his attempted self-coup. On 10 October 2025,Boluarte was impeached by Congress.
The formation of this government comes three days after the investiture of Dina Boluarte as President of the Republic after the attempted self-coup by Pedro Castillo that occurred the same morning. From her speech as the new president,she declared "to ask for a political truce to install a government of national unity". [1]
As of 8 December,President Dina Boluarte announced that she will meet with all the parliamentary groups,being herself a president without a label,and therefore without any party or group supporting her continuously in Congress to form a political government. [2]
Nevertheless,it meets most of the parliamentary groups of the center and the right,in particular Popular Force,Go on Country,Popular Renewal,Popular Action,Integrity and Development and the left group of Together for Peru. [3]
According to deputies from Free Peru,President Dina Boluarte offered her former party a place in the government,which the parliamentarians refused. [4] A few hours later,party leader Vladimir Cerrón confirmed that the party refuses to join the government and refuses the convocation of the group by the president,it is the only group that refused the invitation,demonstrating the still continuous support for Pedro Castillo and destroyed relations with Boluarte. [5]
All the parliamentary groups,and especially the center and the right,announce that they will not join the government, [6] all preferring a technical government of national unity,and especially on the left,demanding the calling of a snap general election. [3] [7]
Nevertheless,the parliamentary groups agree on the need to quickly appoint a unity government,in an attempt to calm the protests in the street. Because from the appointment of Dina Boluarte,about a thousand people marched in Lima towards the Congress. [8]
Other demonstrators also blocked the Panamericana highway the same day with rocks,logs,and burning tires to demand general elections and the closure of Congress,as Pedro Castillo wanted. [8]
In Ica,several dozen demonstrators paralyzed the transport of passengers and freight vehicles. In Arequipa,a thousand kilometers south of Lima,there were also blockages on the Panamericana Sur highway. [8]
Street mobilizations were also reported in other parts of the interior of Peru such as Chota (Cajamarca,birthplace of Castillo),Trujillo,Puno,Ayacucho,Huancavelica and Moquegua. [8]

On 10 December 2022,President Dina Boluarte appointed Pedro Angulo Arana to be her first President of the Council of Ministers. Angulo held the office until a cabinet reshuffle on 21 December 2022,leaving office after just eleven days.
If the government will therefore not be political,Dina Boluarte must therefore find independent politicians,withdrawn from political life and above all experienced. The first media rumors refer to the appointment of Jorge Nieto as President of the Council of Ministers,an experienced minister from the time of the presidency of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. [9]
While the Minister is experienced,he is nevertheless not independent,but with a brand new centrally located party called the Party of Good Government (PBG) which does not yet have representation in Congress,which could only slightly annoy the groups in parliament. [9]
The other two rumors mentioned would be the appointment of Alberto Otárola,former Minister of Defense during the era of the presidency of Ollanta Humala,or the current mediator of Peru Walter Gutiérrez. [10]
On 9 December,President Dina Boluarte announces that the composition of her government will be finalized in the evening,and announced on Saturday morning,10 December,before noon. [11]
Finally,the government investiture ceremony takes place at 1 p.m.,and the president decides to appoint the lawyer Pedro Angulo. In the government,eight women are appointed,which is more than in all of Pedro Castillo's five governments,and the ministers belong or have belonged to a political party,but who have no parliamentary representation. The cabinet is therefore a technical government. [12]
In addition,President Dina Boluarte has not yet decided on the Ministers of Labour and Transport,the portfolios that were most criticized and used for corruption in Castillo's government. [12]
On 13 December,three days after the formation of the government,President Dina Boluarte announces the appointment of the Ministers of Labour and Transport,Eduardo García and Paola Lazarte. [13]
On 16 December,the sixth day of government,the two Ministers of Education and Culture Patricia Correa and Jair Pérez announced their resignation,in opposition to the outbreak of the state of emergency in the country and the numerous deaths during the demonstrations in favor of Pedro Castillo, [14] whose death toll worsened the same day,with 18 dead,confirmed by the Minister of Health Rosa Gutiérrez.

On 21 December 2022,President Dina Boluarte conducted a reshuffle of her cabinet,appointing defence minister Alberto Otárola as prime minister. In addition to the prime minister,Boluarte appointed new Ministers of the Interior,Defense,Education,and Culture.
As a former defence minister,Alberto Otárola took a hard-line approach to protest movements and was accused of being behind the death of protestors during the Juliaca massacre. [16] Otárola flatly rejected demands for Boluarte's resignation and repeatedly accusing former president Castillo of causing the ongoing political crisis.
On 12 January 2023,Eduardo García (Minister of Labour) submitted his resignation due to the deaths in the protests that resumed on 4 January 2023. [17] Along the same lines,Grecia Rojas Ortiz (Minister of Women and Vulnerable Populations) would take the same position on 13 January 2023.
On that day,Boluarte swore in Luis Adrianzén and Nancy Tolentino as ministers of Labour and Women,respectively. Vicente Romero Fernández has been added to the Interior portfolio. [18]
In September 2023,Magnet Márquez resigned from the position after opposing the approval of a bill to 14 thousand interim teachers,not counting pedagogical qualifications,in the appointment of the country's education system. [19] Otárola denied that he was involved in the resignation. [20]
On 15 November 2023,the Minister of the Interior,Vicente Romero,was censured by Congress following the failure of the state of emergency and the so-called "Boluarte Plan."
On 5 March 2024,Otarola resigned as prime minister after the television program Panorama released recordings of his alleged conversations with a 25-year old woman named Yazire Pinedo,who had landed two contracts with a total worth of $14,000 to do archive and administrative work for the government. One of the recordings was said to have shown Otarola referring to Pinedo as "my love". However,in his resignation statement,he denied allegations of wrongdoing. Pinedo said the leaked conversations dated back from before Otarola's premiership in 2021,but acknowledged that she had a brief "perhaps sentimental relationship" with him. [21]

On 14 May 2025,President Dina Boluarte appointed the then Minister of Justice,Eduardo Arana Ysa,as President of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Peru,succeeding Gustavo Adrianzén. Arana was replaced as justice minister Juan Alcántara Medrano. [27] Upon taking office,Arana became the fourth and final prime minister of Boluarte's presidency and was the second shortest-serving prime minister of her tenure.
On 23 August 2025,the president swore in the new Ministers of Justice,Women,and Social Inclusion. Montellanos took over MIDIS,while Santiváñez returned to the cabinet,this time leading the MINJUSDH. [28]
In early September 2025,mass protests broke out against the presidency of Dina Boluarte and the premiership of Eduardo Arana Ysa. At least 19 protestors were injured in marches held in Lima on 27 and 28 September according to the National Human Rights Coordinator (CNDDHH). [29] [30]
On 1 October 2025,Minister Santiváñez submitted his resignation from the Justice portfolio. The next day,he was replaced by Juan Manuel Cavero.
On 6 October 2025,the Cajamarca regional strike began with the aim of shutting down the department of Cajamarca to secure the impeachment or resignation of President Dina Boluarte.
On 10 October 2025,against the backdrop of government ineffectiveness in fighting back violence and crime in Peru,the Congress of the Republic of Peru launched impeachment proceedings against President Dina Boluarte. The trigger for the impeachment was a shooting against members of the Agua Marina orchestra,which acted as a symbolic display of the breakdown of public order.
Boluarte's presidency was marked by historic unpopularity;she was frequently described as the "world's least popular leader," with an approval rating as low as 2% in early 2025 amid allegations of corruption,mismanagement,and repeated impeachment attempts. While previous efforts to oust her—spearheaded by left-wing parties—had failed,a broad coalition eventually formed. Right-wing parties joined the calls for her removal following a surge in violent crime,including the Círculo Militar de Chorrillos shooting . Boluarte declined to appear before Congress,with her lawyer citing alleged violations of due process. Shortly after midnight,Congress declared the presidency vacant,and JoséJerí,the incumbent president of Congress,was sworn in as her successor.
Under the presidency of JoséJerí,prime minister Eduardo Arana Ysa briefly remained as prime minister for three days,before leaving office on 13 October 2025 in favour of Ernesto Álvarez Miranda.
