Prime Minister of Peru

The president of the Council of Ministers of Peru (Spanish: presidente del Consejo de Ministros del Perú), informally called Premier (form of address) or Prime Minister, is the head of the cabinet as the most senior member of the Council of Ministers. The president of the Council of Ministers is appointed by the president of Peru (pending ratification by Congress, as with all other cabinet members).

The president of the Council of Ministers is not the head of government, since the president of Peru serves both as head of state and head of government. Peru is one of the few countries in Latin America (others include Cuba, and Haiti) where the position of prime minister currently exists. The current prime minister of Peru is Alberto Otárola.

Reform

There has been recent debate on whether the prime minister's role should be strengthened, effectively making the prime minister Peru's head of government and transforming the country into a semi-presidential system like in countries such as France and Ukraine. This idea was supported by former Peruvian presidents Alan García, Alejandro Toledo, Ollanta Humala, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, Martín Vizcarra and Francisco Sagasti.
