[1] On 28 July 2001, Waisman became Second Vice President of Peru in Alejandro Toledo's government, and served as such from 2001 to 2006.
He attained these positions in government in spite of the fact that he does not have any post-secondary studies and did not finish secondary school.
He considered running for Vice President once more in the early 2011 elections alongside Luis Castañeda, after having switched from Possible Perú due to irreconcilable differences with Toledo, to Partido Solidaridad Nacional.
