The presidency of Pedro Castillo began with his inauguration as the president of Peru on 28 July 2021, the Peruvian Independence Day.[1] In the 2021 Peruvian general election, Castillo, a school teacher and union organizer, won the presidential election against the right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori of Popular Force by a 45,000 margin in the runoff.[2][3] In the congressional elections, Castillo's party, Free Peru, did not get a majority in the Congress of the Republic of Peru.[4]
