Dina Boluarte biography

Dina Boluarte was born on May 31, 1962, in Charwanka, Apurimac. She graduated from San Martín de Porres as a lawyer and completed her postgraduate studies at the same college. Dina Boluarte is the president of the Apurímac club in Lima.

She ran for mayor of the Surquillo district of Lima in 2018, where she ran on behalf of the Liberal Peruvian Party but she lost. She also ran for free Peru in the 2020 extraordinary parliamentary elections from Peru but was not given a seat in parliament.

She was a member of Pedro Castillo’s presidential candidate who won the runoff. On July 29, 2021, she was named Development and Social Inclusion Officer for the Pedro Castillo administration and was appointed as a minister.

In January 2022, in an interview with La República, Dina Boluarte said she never embraced the ideology of Free Peru. Party general secretary Vladimir Theron subsequently expelled Boluarte from Free Peru, tweeting: “Always loyal, traitors never.”

Dina Boluarte resigned from her position as the minister of development and social inclusion but remained as vice president. On 5 December 2022, after a vote of 13 in favor and 8 against, the Subcommittee on Unconstitutionality alleges that Dina Boluarte was running a private club while she was Minister of Development after they filed a constitutional complaint against her.
