The presidency of Francisco Sagasti in Peru started on 17 November 2020 in the midst of a constitutional crisis which resulted in multiple presidential successions to complete the remaining 2020-2021 presidential term.

The administration has been deemed as a "Transitional government" and an "Emergency government" in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic recession, and a political crisis which dominated Peruvian life.

The first list of candidates was headed by Rocio Silva-Santisteban of Frente Amplio, who did not reach the vote threshold to become President of Congress.

The second list of candidates had congressmen from Partido Morado, Frente Amplio, Accion Popular, and Somos Peru, which was approved.
