It is headed by the President of the Council of Ministers (Spanish: Presidente del Consejo de Ministros), is also called the Prime Minister or Premier (form of address), who serves as head of the cabinet and as the most senior member of the Council of Ministers, being appointed by the president of Peru (pending ratification by Congress, as with all other cabinet members). Eduardo Arana Ysa serves as the incumbent President of the Council of Ministers since 14 May 2025.[2]

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.

History

The office was created in 1856, when the Council of Ministers was itself created through that year's constitution.[3] Under the governments of Mariano Ignacio Prado (1865–1867) and Nicolás de Piérola (1879–1881), the ministries took the names of secretariats, and the head of state directly oversaw the functions attributed to the president of the Council of Ministers.
