Biography

Born in the northern city of Trujillo in 1972, he was enrolled in the Claretiano School for his elementary and high school education. He pursued studies in Architecture at the Antenor Orrego Private University, graduating with a Bachelor's degree.

Political career

Salaverry was member of the Peruvian Aprista Party from 2002 to 2014.

In 2006, he was elected to the Provincial Council of Trujillo. In 2010, he ran for Mayor of Trujillo, losing by a small margin to Alliance for Progress leader César Acuña Peralta, then-current Mayor running for reelection.

In 2014, he founded the "Democracy, Security and Values" Movement. Later that year, he allied with the Popular Force party in order to run for Mayor once again, this time losing against Elidio Espinoza Quispe, a former Police Colonel.

In 2016, he was elected to Congress representing the Department of La Libertad. He has held the position of Spokesperson of the Popular Force Parliamentary Group. He was ultimately elected as President of Congress for the annual term 2018-2019. In January 2019, he quit Popular Force for discrepancies with his bench colleagues.

In July 2019, Salaverry joined the United for the Republic parliamentary group in order to be eligible to run for reelection as President of Congress. He was ultimately defeated by conservative leader Pedro Olaechea, who was supported by the entire Popular Force party.

Former President Martín Vizcarra announced on 27 November 2020 that he would campaign for a seat in congress for the 2021 Peruvian general election, joining the We Are Peru party, a party that voted for his removal just weeks before.[3][4] Salaverry, who was running as a presidential candidate for We Are Peru, welcomed Vizcarra to the party.[4] If elected into congress, Vizcarra would obtain parliamentary immunity from the investigations that resulted with his removal from the presidency.[4]
