Peru s President Pedro Castillo Thursday appointed Congressman Guido Bellido Ugarte of his Peru Libre leftwing party to become the country s new Prime Minister, while the remaining members of the cabinet are still due to take office.
For the more than 30 million Peruvians, for the fight against corruption, for the work for the Peruvian people, yes I swear!, said Bellido at the swearing-in ceremony before the head of state.
Castillo took office on July 28 in a ceremony in Lima, as Peru celebrated 200 years of independence, while Bellido s appointment was held in the department of Ayacucho.

Another Peru spoke up on Sunday at the first round of the presidential election – a Peru that is not made up of sophisticated capital dwellers hooked on Twitter, and one that was getting very little attention during the campaign.
Yet this other Peru has managed to push a long-shot candidate to the top of the presidential race: the radical left-wing schoolteacher and union leader Pedro Castillo was the most-voted contender on Sunday with 18.1% of the votes, according to an early quick count by a polling firm whose results were released in the early hours of Monday.
