Overview

• Nora Bonifaz publicly ruled out joining the transitional cabinet after her name appeared on informal lists of prospective ministers.
• Bonifaz accused party leader Patricia Li of exercising control over José Jerí and cited past controversies tied to Li, framing them as reasons to question the presidency.
• She revisited criticisms of Jerí’s record, pointing to an archived sexual assault complaint and allegations of irregular payments during his time leading Congress’s Budget Commission.
• A Correo opinion column urged Jerí to distance himself from Li and congresswoman Ana Zegarra, arguing their presence undermines his legitimacy as he struggles to assemble a cabinet.
• The reports note no public response from Jerí, as political pressure intensifies and opponents discuss potential censure and street mobilizations ahead of the 2026 elections.
