Peruvian President Pedro Castillo on Thursday named Guido Bellido, a member of his Marxist party, as prime minister, a move likely to further spook investors wary of a new leftist government that will also face resistance in Congress.
I think while Peru Libre won the presidential election, they do not currently have a majority in the legislature.
Edit: Peru has a unicameral legislature with 130 seats. 37 are held by Peru Libre, 24 by Popular Force (Fascists/Fujimorists), 16 by Popular Action (Liberals), 13 by Popular Renewal (Conservatives), 8 by We Are Peru (Christian Democrats), and some other marginal parties.
Looks like he's going to have to coalition with liberals to get things done. The critique of electoralism remains in place even though a communist getting elected isn't a bad thing, best case for Peru is the trend holds and after a couple more cycles they get a radical majority in power.
