The ministry was created in 1990 during the government of Patricio Aylwin,[1] and the first appointee and longest-serving Minister so far was Edgardo Boeninger Kausel.
The Minister Secretary-General of the Presidency is Álvaro Elizalde, who was appointed by President Gabriel Boric on 19 April 2023.[2][3]
