Peru Congress ousts President Dina Boluarte, swears in José Jerí
Peru's Congress voted to remove President Dina Boluarte from office amid rising crimes in the South American nation and replaced her with 38-year-old lawyer José Jerí, the legislative body's leader. Boluarte, who was Peru's first female president, took office in December 2022 after parliament used the same mechanism to impeach her predecessor. Jerí has vowed to combat crime.
