Early parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Peru on 26 January 2020. The elections were called after President Martín Vizcarra dissolved the Congress of the Republic on 30 September 2019.

The elections were convened by the president in the same decree with which the Congress was dissolved.

All 130 congressmen corresponding to the 26 electoral districts will be elected to office for the remainder of the 2016-2021 congressional period. It will be the seventh parliamentary election since the 1993 Constitution, which created the current Congress of the Republic of Peru.

Context

On 30 September 2019, the President of the Council of Ministers, Salvador del Solar, set forth a vote of confidence before the Congress for refusing to pass a bill that modified the election process of judges of the Constitutional Court. The vote of confidence sought to stop the election of magistrates, modify the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court and the designation of the tribunes. However, the Plenary Session of Congress decided to continue with the election of magistrates, and ignored the vote of confidence presented by Del Solar. President Martín Vizcarra considered the vote as confirming no confidence, and proceeded with the dissolution of Congress and the call for new parliamentary elections according to Article 134 of the Constitution.

Article 134: The President of the Republic is empowered to dissolve the Congress if he has censored or denied his trust to two Councils of Ministers.

The decree of dissolution also called for new congressional elections to replace the existing congress. Under the law, elections are to be held within four months of the date of dissolution, without altering the pre-existing electoral system. The Congress cannot be dissolved in the last year of the congressional term, which would be 2021. Once the Congress is dissolved, the Permanent Congressional Committee still remains in operation, which cannot be dissolved.
