Overview

• Fernando Rospigliosi assumed the role of acting head of Congress as first vice president after José Jerí became president following Dina Boluarte’s ouster.
• Fuerza Popular reiterated that Rospigliosi will not remain in the post through 2026 and will serve only until a new congressional president is elected.
• Caucus spokesperson César Revilla said the party will facilitate a vote to complete the Mesa Directiva, emphasizing there cannot be a three-member board.
• A statement issued on October 9 said Fuerza Popular will not seek to preside over Congress or the transitional government, a stance Revilla said remains unchanged.
• Inter-party meetings are expected to begin Monday to forge a consensus nominee or proceed to ballots until one candidate secures a majority.
