In Peru, the people directly elect a head of state – the president – as well as a legislature. The president is elected by the people for a five year term; the unicameral Congress (Congreso) has 120 members, also elected for a five-year term by proportional representation. Peru has a multi-party system, which effectively bars one party from becoming the sole influence in a decision-making process. As such, parties must work with one another to form coalition governments. Though a term originally coined for presidents of republics, a head of state or chief of state is now universally known as the chief public representative of a nation-state, federation or commonwealth, whose role generally includes personifying the continuity and legitimacy of the state and exercising the political powers...
