Overview

• Lawmakers admitted multiple impeachment motions, with four requests accepted after surpassing the reported 56-vote threshold required for each.
• The accepted petitions set up a formal debate and an impeachment trial in Peru’s 130-member unicameral Congress.
• Reuters reported the initial vote as the first of a series to be admitted in a legislature that had historically supported Boluarte.
• Legislators requested that President Dina Boluarte appear shortly before midnight to deliver her defense before Congress.
• The Associated Press later reported that 124 lawmakers voted to impeach as the process moved forward.
