Peru: Congress votes to remove President Boluarte

“Peru’s Congress on Friday voted to remove deeply unpopular President Dina Boluarte from office, citing her government’s inability to curb crime. Before midnight on Thursday, lawmakers requested that Boluarte appear before them to defend herself. When she did not appear, shortly after midnight, lawmakers voted to oust Boluarte from office. In contrast to the previous eight attempts to remove her, almost all legislative factions have expressed support for the latest impeachment requests. Congress leader Jose Jeri announced that 118 out of 122 lawmakers voted for her impeachment, removing her from the presidency, citing her ‘moral incapacity’ to carry out her duties.” (10/10/25)
