Overview

  • Congress vacated Dina Boluarte for “moral incapacity,” and José Jerí was sworn in under constitutional succession.
  • On day one, Jerí met with Armed Forces and National Police commanders, the Judiciary chief and the interim attorney general to coordinate anti-crime actions and reinforce flagrancy units.
  • Financial markets showed minimal immediate volatility, and Jerí has yet to name a cabinet as business groups press for a capable, technically solid team.
  • The U.S. Embassy said it will work productively with Jerí and support Peru’s stability and democratic institutions ahead of the 2026 elections.
  • Prosecutors advanced cases involving Boluarte, setting an impediment-to-leave hearing for Oct. 15 and evidentiary confrontations for Oct. 27–28 in a money-laundering probe.
