List of presidents of Peru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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,[2] as well as the constitutions, laws, and decrees in each case.
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. The numbering is solely for informational purposes of Wikipedia, without any official or historical value.[a]

Notes
- The official website of Congress includes a list of "presidents and rulers of the Republic" from 1821 until 2021. It lists a total of 130 governments from José de San Martín until Pedro Castillo, but does not separate constitutional presidents from dictators and other interim rulers.
- Appointed by Congress
- 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.[8]
- Supreme Political and Military Authority of the Peruvian Republic, holder of the Dictatorial Power.
- 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.[12]
- 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.[18] Electoral Colleges were abolished in 1895.[19]
- As President of the Council of State of Peru in charge of the Executive.
- Constitutional succession
- Proclaimed "Supreme Director" on 28 January 1843, in the South.[35] 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).[36][37]
- The civil war continued until the Battle of Carmen Alto of 22 July 1844, in which Vivanco and his forces were finally defeated.
- As 2º Vice President in charge of the Executive.
- 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,[49] but the official list of presidential messages recognizes him as president in 1867.[50]
- As 1º Vice president in charge of the Executive.
- Appointed by Congress of Ayacucho
- Elected provisory president in Open cabildo on 22 February 1881, de facto since 12 March.[67]
- Appointed by Congress of Chorrillos
