Lima, Jul 23 (EFE).- The new government of Peru is ready to assume full functions next week after the official delivery of credentials to President-elect Pedro Castillo and vice president Dina Boluarte, while 130 new congressmen were sworn in.
The leftist Castillo, a 51-year-old rural teacher and trade unionist who defeated the right-wing Keiko Fujimori in the second round of the presidential election, on Friday received his credentials as head of state for 2021-2026 in a ceremony organized by the National Jury of Elections (NJE).
“For me this is an honor (…) I swear not to disappoint,” said an emotional Castillo as he received the documents from NJE President José Luis Salas, who also presented credentials to Boluarte.
