Prime Minister of Peru

The President of the Council of Ministers of Peru, informally called Premier (form of address) or Prime Minister, heads the Council of Ministers, and is appointed by the president (pending ratification by Congress, as with all Council members).

The prime minister is not the head of government, the role served by the president. Peru is one of the few countries in Latin America (others include Argentina, Cuba, and Haiti) where the position of prime minister currently exists. The current prime minister is Violeta Bermúdez, who was appointed on 11 November 2020 by President Francisco Sagasti.[2]

Reform

There has been recent debate on whether the prime minister's role should be strengthened, effectively making the prime minister the head of government, as in countries like France and Russia. This idea was supported by former Peruvian presidents Alan García, Alejandro Toledo and Ollanta Humala.
