Biography[edit]
He was born in Ahuac District, in the province Chupaca of the Junín region, on December 16, 1970. He is the son of university professors Jaime Cerrón Palomino and Bertha Rojas López. He attended elementary school at the Escuela Sebastián Lorente in the city of Huancayo and attended high school at the Colegio Nacional Santa Isabel in the same city. [2]. He continued his studies, studying Electrical Engineering at the National University of the Center of Peru and Civil Engineering at the Los Andes Peruvian University, but didn't manage to finish them due to terrorist violence in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s.[citation needed].
In 1991 he received a scholarship to study human medicine in Cuba at the Carlos J. Finlay Higher Institute of Medical Sciences in Camagüey, today named the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey, graduating as a Doctor of Medicine in 1997[3]. Once again awarded a scholarship in 1997, he specialized in the Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Hospital (Camagüey, Cuba), obtaining the title of First Degree Specialist in Neurosurgery in 2002. [citation needed][4]. In 2009 he obtained his Master's degree in Neuroscience and in 2010 he obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree from the National University of San Marcos.
He worked in the Regional Health Directorate - Jauja Health Network in the Muquiyauyo district in the province of Jauja, between 2002 and 2003. From 2003 he worked at the National Hospital EsSalud in Huancayo, in the Neurosurgery department. From 2002 he taught in the Faculty of Human Medicine at the National University of the Center of Peru and the Los Andes Peruvian University as professor of Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology and Neurosurgery[3]. He is a member of the Cuban Society of Neurology and Neurosurgery and of the Academy of Doctors of the National University of the Center of Peru.[citation needed].
Political career[edit]
In 2005 he officially broke through into the political scene of his region, joining the Peruvian Nationalist Party until his resignation in July 2006 after the party failed to win the general elections that year.
In 2006 he founded the regional organization Peruvian Patriot Front. He held the position of regional political secretary of this organization between April 2006 and May 2007 when he resigned.
He ran for the first time as a candidate for regional president of Junín in the 2006 elections for the Peruvian Patriot Front that he himself founded. In this election he came third with 16.429% of the votes.
In August 2007 he founded the Regional Political Movement Free Peru, being its legal representative and regional general secretary until January 2013 when he resigned. He also ran in the 2010 elections, winning in the first round with 172,979 votes, which represented 33,427% of the valid votes.[5]
On January 26, 2011, on the occasion of the first annual meeting of regional leaders in the city of Lima, he was elected president of the National Assembly of Regional Governments.
In February 2012 he founded the Free Peru party, of which he was legal representative and regional secretary-general until May 2018.[6]
In the 2014 elections, he attempted to get reelected by the same Peru Libre movement, remaining in second place with 26.303% of the votes and going to the Second Round together with the candidate Ángel Unchupaico. He would permanently lose in the second round after obtaining only 46.888% of the votes[5].
In 2016 he ran as a candidate for the presidency of the republic for the Free Peru Party in the 2016 general elections. As such, he registered his candidacy on January 11, 2016 but withdrew from the race two months later due to little support for his candidacy, preventing his party from losing the electoral registration.[7][5]
He ran for the Regional Government of Junín again in the 2018 elections and was reelected as regional governor in the first round with 216,644 votes, representing 36.888% of the valid votes.[5] Although his term was scheduled to end on December 31, 2022, on August 20, 2019 the Regional Council decided to suspend him from his position as regional governor due to the criminal conviction he received as a result of the La Oroya case.
Crimes and cases of corruption[edit]
He was accused and convicted of several cases of corruption and criminal offenses in his term as regional governor of Junín, among them the following stand out:
Case of the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital in Huancayo[edit]
In the execution of the work "Improvement of the Resolutive Capacity of the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital in Huancayo", the Regional Government of Junín, was implicated, with Vladimir Cerrón as head, when existence of evidence was observed showing the alleged committing of the crime of falsification of the documents which were presented by the companies contracted to win the award in May 2013.[8]
The La Oroya Case[edit]
On August 5, 2019, the Governor of Junín, Vladimir Cerrón, and the mayor of Huancayo, Henry López Cantorín, were sentenced to 4 years and 8 months in prison for crimes including inappropriate business dealings and taking advantage of their positions for the sanitation case of La Oroya during its management between 2011 and 2014. The sentence was issued by the fifth anti-corruption court of the High Court of Justice of Junín, finding them guilty of generating the incorrect valuation payment in a sanitation work in Yauli, La Oroya. Additionally, he was sentenced to pay 850 thousand Peruvian soles for civil reparations and his capture was ordered for his confinement in the Huancayo Penitentiary Center.
After the judicial ruling became known, agents of the National Police of Peru arrived at Cerrón's home to arrest him; however, he was not found.
On August 21, a day after being suspended from his duties, he voluntarily surrendered to the Junín authorities.
On October 18, the Appeals Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Junín ordered the alteration of his sentence from actual imprisonment to a suspended prison sentence. The criminal penalty was also reduced from 4 years and 8 months to 3 years and 9 months.
