The Council of Ministers —led by Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra— has approved an emergency decree to establish urgent and exceptional measures that enable electoral system organizations
to guarantee the holding of parliamentary elections on January 26, 2020.
Therefore, electoral bodies will be able to issue rules, regulations, and other provisions needed to conduct said elections.
Likewise, the document includes regulations that enable electoral organizations to get the required financing.
The document also confirmed the dissolution of Congress, which failed to deliver a vote of confidence in two Cabinets of the same Government (2016-2021).
