List of presidents of Peru

This is a list of those who have served as President of the Republic of Peru (head of state and head of government of Peru) from its establishment to the present. The office was established by the 1822 Constituent Congress, after the resignation of José de San Martín to his position as Protector of Peru and his subsequent departure from the country.

The first president was José de la Riva Agüero and the current officeholder is José María Balcázar. In the history of the position, there has been several political crises, caudillos, barracks revolt, civil wars, death of the incumbent, coups d'état, parliamentary attempts to remove the presidency,[1] one self-coup, and vacancies dictated by the congress. The list is based on the official list of rulers by the Peruvian Congress, as well as the constitutions, laws, and decrees in each case.[2][a]

Even though they were not presidents, the list includes the Libertadores San Martín and Simón Bolívar due to their historical relevance in the independence of Peru and its consolidation. The country's name was changed from "Peruvian Republic" (República peruana) to "Republic of Peru" (República del Perú) in 1980, after the 1979 constitution came into effect.

Notes

  1. ^ The official website of Congress includes a list of "presidents and rulers of the Republic" from 1821 until 2021.[2] It lists a total of 130 governments from José de San Martín until Pedro Castillo, but does not separate constitutional presidencies from dictatorships nor interim governments. This Wikipedia list includes a total of 40 presidents and 53 presidencies from 1821 until 2021.
  2. ^ Some authors regard Francisco Xavier de Luna Pizarro, president of Congress, as de facto interim ruler between San Martin's resignation and the appointment of the Supreme Junta.[2] By this logic, Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza should also be considered interim president, as he was chosen as temporary head of Congress during the election of their official members.[4]
  3. ^ Following the Balconcillo mutiny, the Supreme Junta was dissolved and José Bernardo de Tagle was appointed as interim head of the Executive, but he was removed the following day.[5]
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Appointed by Congress
  5. ^ Congress claimed that he was "willing to resign",[8] but in fact he was forcibly removed. He continued to claim the presidency, declared the dissolution of Congress, and even allied himself with the Spanish forces to overthrow the government of Lima.[9]
  6. ^ José Bernardo de Tagle was already appointed "Supreme chief” by Antonio José de Sucre on 17 July 1823. This was then made official on 7 August.[11]
  7. ^ Supreme Political and Military Authority of the Peruvian Republic, holder of the Dictatorial Power.
  8. ^ Bolivar was declared deposed in an Open cabildo on 27 January 1843, after a popular uprising against his rule. Andrés de Santa Cruz had been the de facto governor of Peru in the name of Bolivar.[15]
  9. ^ The Electoral colleges were convened for the elections of Congress and Gamarra's successor as president. However, these Colleges only met partially, and thus the elections were thwarted.[21] Electoral Colleges were abolished in 1895.[22]
  10. ^ Recognized in the Southern provinces; captured Orbegoso and briefly took over Lima in January 1834, but was expelled by the citizens. Continued to claim power until being betrayed by his own men, who reconciled with Orbegoso on 24 April.[24]
  11. ^ Controlled Lima until 30 December 1835, when Orbegoso's troops entered the city, although infighting continued until 6 January 1836. Was defeated in the Battle of Socabaya on 7 February and executed a few days later, on 18 February.[26]
  12. ^ Orbegoso resigned the Peruvian presidency on 3 August 1836, after promoting the creation of the Peru–Bolivian Confederation of Andrés de Santa Cruz.[28] He had already been given the "supreme power" on 8 July 1835, dring the war against Salaverry.[29]
  13. ^ Already proclaimed Protector of South Peru (17 March) and North Peru (6 August).[30][28]
  14. ^ Orbegoso declared himself independent on 30 July 1838, but was defeated three weeks later by Gamarra's restoration forces at the Battle of Portada de Guías, near Lima. Santa Cruz appointed Riva Agüero as his replacement, at Tarma.
  15. ^ a b c d Appointed by Andrés de Santa Cruz.
  16. ^ Agustín Gamarra's forces recaptured Lima on 21 August 1838, after the Battle of Portada de Guías, but lost it a few weeks later, on 10 November. Santa Cruz was decisively defeated on 20 January 1839, at the Battle of Yungay. Lima was then occupied by the restoration forces, and the Confederation was dissolved on 20 February.[38][39]
  17. ^ Killed during the Battle of Ingavi.
  18. ^ a b c d e f As President of the Council of State of Peru in charge of the Executive.
  19. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o Constitutional succession
  20. ^ Proclaimed "Supreme Director" on 28 January 1843, in the South.[49] Vivanco's supporters deposed Figuerola in Lima, recognized Vivanco as Head of state, and installed a provisional government led by very short-lived directors: Eleuterio Aramburú (19–21 March), José Rufino Echenique (21–27 March), and Juan Antonio Pezet (27 March–7 April).[50][51]
  21. ^ Revolted in Tacna in opposition to Vivanco.
  22. ^ Natural causes.

  28. ^ Ramón Castilla ruled as the de facto interim president until 9 April.[64]
  29. ^ He is not listed in the official list of Peruvian heads of State,[65] but he does appear as president in the list of presidential messages.[66] Contemporary records clearly show that he was sworn as President of the Republic.[67][68]
  30. ^ Already proclaimed Supreme Leader on 25 June.[70]
  31. ^ As Provisional Supreme Chief from 1865 to 1867, as Provisional President in 1867, and as constitutional President of Peru from 1867 to 1868. His first presidency is not included in the official list of Peruvian rulers. He only appears as Supreme Chief in 1865–1867,[65] but the official list of presidential messages recognizes him as president in 1867.[66]

  33. ^ Killed by a mob.
  34. ^ a b As 1º Vice president in charge of the Executive.
