  • Peru's Prime Minister has ordered the start of the government's transition process following the official proclamation of Keiko Fujimori as the president-elect.
  • The order directs all executive sectors to coordinate institutional transfers and provide necessary information to Fujimori's incoming administration.
  • Marco Vinelli, a key figure in Fujimori's party, has been appointed to lead the transition team for the incoming president.

Peru's government has officially initiated the handover of power to president-elect Keiko Fujimori. Prime Minister Luis Arroyo issued a directive to all executive sectors, mandating the commencement of transition coordination. This move follows the National Elections Jury's proclamation of Fujimori, a right-wing politician, as the winner of the 2026-2031 presidential term.

The directive emphasizes the need for institutional cooperation to meet legal deadlines for the change in government. Ministries and other government entities are instructed to facilitate the accreditation of incoming transfer teams and ensure the timely availability of all required information and documentation. The government has also activated protocols for public information delivery, aiming to prevent administrative gaps and provide the new authorities with a comprehensive overview of the state's situation.

I will appreciate it if you would instruct the Outgoing Holder's Transfer Team (ETTS) of your sector, as well as the competent bodies, to take the necessary actions to guarantee the proper development of the management transfer process, providing facilities for the accreditation of the Incoming Holder's Transfer Teams (ETTE).

Economist Marco Vinelli, who led Fujimori's Fuerza Popular party's electoral campaign, has been officially designated by Fujimori to coordinate the incoming executive branch's transfer process. Vinelli will act as the representative for accrediting and coordinating the incoming transfer teams with ministries and other government bodies. Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, secured victory in the presidential election's second round against leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez by a narrow margin of 49,641 votes. The National Elections Jury's proclamation marks the end of the electoral process, despite unsuccessful attempts by Sánchez to challenge the results by alleging fraud.
