LIMA (Reuters) – The former head of Peru’s constitutional tribunal, Ernesto Alvarez, has accepted the role of cabinet chief and prime minister in President Jose Jeri’s new government, the head of Alvarez’s party said on Tuesday.
Jeri was sworn in last week after the abrupt ouster of former President Dina Boluarte, and has yet to formally announce the full make-up of his cabinet.
Popular Christian Party (PPC) Secretary General Javier Bedoya told local radio RPP that Alvarez had told the party leadership that he had accepted the role.
