Peru impeaches third president in five years: why Dina Boluarte got the ax

Congress President Jose Jeri was sworn in as the country’s new president
BUENOS AIRES, October 10. /TASS/. Peru’s Congress has voted to impeach the country’s President Dina Boluarte citing national security concerns.

The session was broadcast on the parliament’s YouTube channel. Later, Congress President Jose Jeri was sworn in as the country’s new president.

TASS has compiled key facts about the situation in Peru.

Impeachment causes

- On October 9, Peru’s Congress considered four proposals to impeach Boluarte due to her "moral incapacity" to serve as president.

- The initiatives’ authors accused the head of state of failing to quell the country’s crime problem.

- Boluarte did not show up for the Congress’ session.

- Peru’s national security situation has worsened over recent years.

- In March, due to a crime wave, the Peruvian parliament passed a vote of no confidence to the country's interior minister, Juan Jose Santivanez.

- In May, due to a crisis in the security sphere, the Peruvian head of government Gustavo Adrianzen stepped down.

- On October 10, Peru’s Congress unanimously voted to impeach Boluarte.

- Following this, Congress President Jose Jeri was sworn in as the country’s new president.

Investigations into Boluarte’s case

- Peru’s Prosecutor General Tomas Galvez said that he intends to ban Boluarte from leaving the republic.

- Earlier, the office of Peru’s Prosecutor General opened several criminal investigations into Boluarte.

- The agency suspects the former head of state of taking bribes, accessory to protesters’ deaths, dereliction of duty and covering all that up.

About impeachments of Peruvian presidents

- Boluarte became the third Peruvian president to be impeached over the past five years.

- She took the country’s highest office in December 2022 after Pedro Castillo, with whom she ran on the same ticket in 2021, was stripped of his authority.

- In November 2020, Martin Vizcarra was removed as the head of state, this coming after President Pedro Kuczynski resigned ahead of his own impeachment intrigue in March 2018.

(8/8) Who is leading Peru today?

José Jerí, a 38-year-old lawyer and member of the center-right party Somos Perú, assumed the presidency of Congress in July 2025 and is temporarily performing the duties of the country's president until the elections on April 12, 2026.

Previously, he was investigated for an accusation of sexual assault allegedly occurring in December 2024. In August 2025, prosecutor Tomás Gálvez closed the case due to lack of evidence. However, Gálvez himself is under investigation for his alleged involvement in a mafia that manipulated judicial appointments and court rulings.

🇵🇪 Political Crisis in Peru: "Boluarte's Lack of Leadership Has Been Evident," States the Former Peruvian Prosecutor

Peru has regressed to the 1980s and 1990s, when the average citizen "had a great fear of going out on the street," former Supreme Deputy Anti-Corruption Prosecutor Martín Salas declared to Sputnik.

👉 The former official asserts that the removal from office of the now former Peruvian president is a tool that "allows for redirecting political stability" in Peru.




Auto-translated by Grok
📍 According to Salas:

🔶 "The incapacity and political ineptitude" of Dina Boluarte and her Cabinet to implement tools that provide citizen security has led the Peruvian people to react.

🔶 Citizens have begun to push the political sector of Parliament, despite being questioned on corruption issues, to make decisions.

🔶 Salas describes Boluarte as "a president questioned for serious acts of corruption and for not having materialized suitable tools."

In parallel, a mega-operation was carried out that resulted in more than 40 arrests in the first hours of the state of emergency.

Previously, José Jerí decreed a state of emergency for 30 days in Lima and the neighboring province of Callao due to crime, which involves the temporary concentration of power in the Executive and grants greater authority to the military and police.

🇵🇪 Peru’s Congress voted 75–24 to remove interim President José Jerí after just four months in office, ousting him as both head of state and President of Congress in a censure motion tied to undisclosed meetings with Chinese businessmen, the Associated Press reports.

The affair, dubbed “Chifagate,” centers on clandestine meetings that were not logged as required by law, including with an executive holding active government contracts, fueling allegations of influence peddling.

Jerí, a right-wing “Somos Perú” leader who champions economic liberalism and private investment, had enjoyed support from the US since taking office in October 2025 after Dina Boluarte’s removal. Jeri also backed US military operations in Venezuela. His downfall marks the ninth presidential change in less than a decade, highlighting Peru’s chronic political instability as it heads to general elections on April 12.
