In an official ceremony, the National Elections Board (JNE) presented Keiko Fujimori Higushi with her credentials as constitutional president of the Republic for the 2026–2031 term, as well as to Vice President Luis Galarreta and Second Vice President Miguel Angel Torres. This event, held in the district of San Borja, Lima, marks the conclusion of the 2026 general election, and the only remaining step is the transfer of power on July 28.
Also present at the credential presentation ceremony were current President José María Balcázar and the members of the JNE plenary session, led by its president, Roberto Burneo.
In her first remarks following the presentation of credentials, Keiko Fujimori stated that “there are no winners or losers—there is only one Peru,” assuring that her administration intends to restore public trust through dialogue.
Immediate Priorities
Fujimori Higuchi outlined the key priorities of her administration for the first 100 days: restoring institutional trust, public safety, economic growth, and social inclusion. However, for effective governance, these must include fundamental reforms that have disrupted the current democratic system, such as:
Institutional Trust: restoring the independence of the branches of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) and moving beyond the parliamentary government that turned its back on the country.
Public Safety: taking measures to confront criminal groups, without deviating from the Pact of San José or undermining the fundamental rights of the population.
Economic growth: promoting sustainable socioeconomic development, free from corruption, by fostering non-extractive economic sectors such as tourism, science, and technology.
Social inclusion: fostering dialogue with the entire country, including the southern departments and those that did not support him, but which he will now have to govern.
The public also expects the repeal of pro-crime laws, constitutional reform, reparations for victims of the protests, attention to the health and education sectors—especially the issue of scholarship recipients—and sustainable development in the jungle and highland regions, while protecting the environment and surrounding communities, among other things.
