She was selected to run for the Peruvian Congress with National Unity, representing her party in the coalition for the Lima constituency, at the 2006 general election. Although she was not elected, she gained recognition for her strong campaigning and her youth. In 2007, she was appointed the party's National Structural Secretary for Training, serving in Lourdes Flores leadership through 2011. Pérez Tello unsuccessfully ran for the Lima City Council in 2010, as party leader Flores was defeated by the leftist nominee, Susana Villarán, in the mayorship race. The Christian People's Party only attained 11 council members.[3]

2011 vice presidential nomination

[edit]

For the 2011 general election, former Prime Minister of Peru, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski sealed the Alliance for the Great Change coalition, composed by the Christian People's Party, Alliance for Progress, National Restoration, and the Peruvian Humanist Party. In December 2010, Pérez Tello was nominated by her party as Kuczynski's second running-mate in the coalition, alongside the non-partisan former Vice President, Máximo San Román, as first running mate.

The coalition ran a strong campaign, but failed to qualify for the run-off, placing third behind Keiko Fujimori and Ollanta Humala. The latter would ultimately be elected to the presidency in the run-off. In total, Kuczynski's ticket with San Román and Pérez Tello earned 18.5% of the popular vote. Simultaneously, Pérez Tello was elected to the Peruvian Congress alongside twelve other coalition candidates.

Congressional term (2011–2016)

[edit]

Pérez Tello was sworn in as a member of Congress on July 26, 2011. In the first half of there five-year term, she served in the Sub-Committee on Constitutional Accusations (2011–2014, 2015–2016), the Committees on Constitution and Rule (2011–2013), on Women and Family (2011–2016), and on Justice and Human Rights (2011–2013), being chair for the latter from 2012 to 2013. In the second-half of her term, she served as Vice Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee (2013–2016).

At the end of her term, she decided against running for reelection in the 2016 general election, due to the coalition between the Christian People's Party and the Peruvian Aprista Party, which launched former president Alan García as the presidential nominee, alongside Lourdes Flores as first running-mate. She made her decision public on social media, wishing the best of luck for her party in the coalition and declaring her commitment to finishing her term without any distraction of sort.[8]

Minister of Justice and Human Rights (2016–2017)

[edit]

On July 15, 2016, President-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski announced Pérez Tello inclusion in his first cabinet as Minister of Justice and Human Rights.[7] She took office on inauguration day, on July 28, 2016.[9]

During her tenure, the National Agreement for Justice was created, a space for dialogue between the Judiciary, the Public Ministry, the National Council of the Magistrature, and the Academy of the Magistrature, to strengthen the justice system at the national level.[10] At the same time, measures were implemented to modernize the National Penitentiary Institute of Peru, to reduce the levels of overcrowding in prisons and reduce the costs of internment.[11]

On September 17, 2017, Pérez Tello tendered her resignation alongside the entire cabinet, as Prime Minister Fernando Zavala's vote of confidence was not approved by the fujimorist-dominated Peruvian Congress led by the Popular Force.[12]
