The second presidency of Alan García (2006–2011) began with the successful economic growth of the country recovering from the crisis of the first presidency of Alan García in the 1980s. Presidents Alberto Fujimori (1990–2000) and Alejandro Toledo (2001–2006) began with new neoliberal economic policies after García's crisis.
After the National Office of Electoral Processes counted the 100.00% of the votes, confirming that Alan García Pérez was the new President of Peru. On 21 June 2006, the National Elections Jury credited him as President Elect, succeeding Alejandro Toledo, who was his rival in 2001.
During the transition period, García made numerous announcements that would take his future administration. Among the major announcements made, include the creation of the Ministry of Fishing and future Ministry of Culture and Sports. He also announced that his Cabinet would peer, receiving praise from Lourdes Flores, leader of the opposition, who focused his campaign on the issue of women's equality.
Garcia Perez met on 11 July with Lourdes Flores, President of the Christian People's Party and Leader of National Unity (Peru). The event that took place at the home of Flores, lasted an hour and covered the country's reality topics. García denied that he had offered a Flores ministerial post. However, a few weeks later, he explained that he had offered her the office of Prime Minister of Peru and a government coalition.
On 20 July, he announced two members of his cabinet: José García Belaúnde as Foreign Affairs Minister and Luis Carranza as Economy and Finance Minister. García Belaúnde's appointment was welcomed by all public and private sectors while Carranza was only received positively by the business community and experts on economic issues. The General Confederation of Workers of Peru and the representatives of the Union for Peru described Carranza's appointment as a continuation of the neoliberal model of Alejandro Toledo and Alberto Fujimori, and as an approach to the right of Lourdes Flores, who described the appointment of Carranza in the Ministry as "extraordinary".
