Overview

• Congress unanimously vacated Dina Boluarte for “permanent moral incapacity,” triggering José Jerí’s constitutional succession.
• With no cabinet in place, former ministers handled a major fire response in Pamplona Alta as the new administration remained without sworn officials.
• Article 130 requires the outgoing Council of Ministers to resign and a newly formed cabinet to seek a congressional confidence vote within 30 days.
• Jerí has met judicial and prosecutorial leaders and reviewed names, and local media cite potential picks such as Raúl Pérez Reyes, Carlos Estremadoyro, Miguel Palacios, Jorge Angulo, and Cluber Aliaga, though no appointments are confirmed.
• Opposition lawmakers question the government’s viability as prior legal probes into Jerí’s conduct and wealth add pressure to the slow start.
