Timeline
In the 2016 general election, Del Castillo was reelected for a fifth term in Congress, returning after 5 years of absence. By law, he cannot run again for reelection since the approval of the third clause of the 2018 Peruvian constitutional referendum, which states the prohibition of immediate reelection for congressman.
He served in Congress until 2011, after failing to achieve a fifth consecutive reelection. He served as Political Secretary General between 2010 and 2017, concurrently with the Institutional Secretary General, former Ayacucho Governor Omar Quesada.
After the "Petroaudios" scandal revealed Del Castillo's involvement, he tendered his resignation with the whole cabinet on October 10, 2008, to President Alan García, marking his political downfall.
Del Castillo was sworn in as García's Prime Minister on July 28, 2006, swearing for Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre and "APRA martyrs blood". During his premiership, he gave political and economic stability to the country, generating confidence with Congress, making agreements with various unions and successfully managing social conflicts within the country.
Del Castillo returned to politics in 1995, when he was elected to Congress representing Lima. He was reelected for office in 2000, 2001, and 2006. In 2004, he was ratified as Secretary General of the Party for a second term, serving until 2006, when he resigned after being named by newly elected President Alan García as his inaugural Prime Minister.
In 1990, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, serving until 1992, when President Alberto Fujimori dissolved Congress. During his short term in Congress, he defended APRA leader Alan García from the accusations against him involving corruption and unjust enrichment. After his ousting as a Deputy, he helped García escape from Peru and find refuge in Colombia. With García in exile, Del Castillo became one of the most respected leaders of the Party, and was elected Secretary General in 1999.
A prominent member of the Peruvian Aprista Party, Del Castillo was elected for public office as Councilman of the District of Barranco in 1981. In 1984, he was elected Mayor of the same district. He held the position until 1985, when President Alan García appointed him Prefect (appointed department governor) of Lima. He rose to political prominence after being elected Mayor of Lima in 1987, defeating various popular candidates such as former christian democrat Mayor from the 1960s, Luis Bedoya Reyes and incumbent marxist Mayor Alfonso Barrantes Lingán. As Mayor, he did very little in the case of infrastructure and rehabilitation of roads, although he claimed that he couldn't do much because of the rise of terrorism.
Jorge Alfonso Alejandro Del Castillo Gálvez (born July 2, 1950) is a Peruvian lawyer and politician.
