Óscar de Jesús Reto Otero (born 28 April 1962) is a Peruvian military officer and politician who has been serving as the President of the Chamber of Deputies of Peru since July 26, 2026.
Political career In the 2026 Peruvian general election, he was elected as a member of the newly established Chamber of Deputies for the Lima constituency.
On 26 July 2026, he was elected president of the Chamber of Deputies for the 2026-2027 annual session, defeating the list by Norma Yarrow, a member of the Popular Renewal party and its coalition with the ruling party Popular Force.
In the new Congress of the Republic, his party collaborated with the left-wing coalition, including Together for Peru, Civic Party OBRAS, and Ahora Nación, in which all parties held a vice presidency in Reto's candidate list for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies.
Because the President of Congress is an ex-officio role held by the president of the Senate of Peru; thus, Reto, as the president of the Chamber of Deputies, is not in the Peru presidential line of succession.
