Overview

• Congress vacated Dina Boluarte on October 10 and installed 38‑year‑old lawyer José Jerí as interim president.
• Jerí announced on X that the functions of Eduardo Arana and all ministers from the prior government have ended and said no outgoing minister or sitting legislator will join his cabinet.
• He said selection would prioritize public‑management experience, sector knowledge, or proven dialogue skills, and he has yet to name any cabinet member.
• In early actions, he engaged during a large fire in Pamplona Alta, ordered simultaneous operations in Ancón I and Lurigancho prisons, and met transport unions who decided not to join the November 15 national strike.
• Jerí rose through Somos Perú, entering Congress as an accesitario replacing Martín Vizcarra, and while five fiscal probes are reported open, a 2024 rape complaint was closed in August by the Fiscalía Suprema de Familia led by Tomás Gálvez.
