Saleh Carlos Salvador Heresi Chicoma (born February 16, 1966) is a Peruvian lawyer and politician. Throughout his political career, he served as mayor of San Miguel from 2003 to 2014, member of the Peruvian Congress from 2016 to 2020, and Minister of Justice and Human Rights at the start of Martín Vizcarra administration, in 2018.[1][2]
Heresi started his political career with the Christian People's Party in the San Miguel District, serving as councilman from 1990 to 1992, and eventually as mayor from 2003 to 2014. Heresi ended leaving the party to found Peruvians for Change in 2011. Following a failed bid for Mayor of Lima in 2014, placing fourth with 5.6% of the popular vote, Heresi was elected to the Peruvian Congress at the 2016 general election.[3][4]
During his congressional term, Heresi aligned with president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, but the PPK parliamentary caucus proved to be unstable after the Kuczynski's downfall and Martín Vizcarra's accession to the presidency. Heresi was appointed as Minister of Justice and Human Rights in April 2018,[5] but lasted only three months in office following the revelation of indirect involvement in the National Council of the Magistrature's scandal, in which Heresi was caught in communication with the disgraced Supreme Court justice, César Hinostroza. Heresi was eventually fired by Vizcarra in July 2018.[6]
Following his disgraceful exit from the government, Heresi aligned with the more conservative side of the PPK parliamentary caucus, eventually leaving the caucus in November 2018. His party changed its official name in February 2019, and he continued serving as secretary general.[7] His congressional term would partially come to an end on September 30, 2019, with the dissolution of the Peruvian Congress. Opposing Vizcarra's decision, he unsuccessfully tried to regain his seat at the 2020 parliamentary snap election. After only attaining a low share of votes, he served in the congressional Permanent Assembly as Second Vice President of Congress through March 16, 2020, quitting his party and announcing his retirement from politics.[8]
In January 2021, Heresi announced his political comeback as he registered in Alliance for Progress,[9] but left the party shortly after as he joined Podemos Perú. He is currently running for a non-consecutive fourth term as mayor of San Miguel at the 2022 regional and municipal elections.
