Established in the Constitution of 1993, the President of Peru, officially the President of the Republic (Presidente de la República), is the chief of state of Peru and represents the republic in official international matters. The presidential term is five years. Also, Peru does not allow an incumbent President to succeed himself, so the incumbent President is barred from running in the election. (A former president may run again in subsequent presidential elections). The current president is Alan García, elected in 2006.

History

During its more than 180 years of independence, Peru has been ruled by the military leaders who fought for independence, the leaders of the War of the Pacific, representatives of the aristocracy, and democratically-elected leaders. Also, the history of the presidency has involved civil wars, coups and violence. More than once, several individuals claimed the right to be president at the same time.

Different titles have been used, such as "Protector of Peru" (used by José de San Martin), "Liberator" (used by Simón Bolivar) and "Supreme Protector" (by Andrés de Santa Cruz).

The following table contains a list of the individuals who have served as president of Peru.

Current living former presidents

1. Francisco Morales Bermúdez (1975-1980)
2. Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000)
3. Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006)
