José Jerí, who has served as interim president of Peru for only four months, has been removed from office following the approval of four censure motions by the majority of the Congress. The vote resulted in 75 against and only 24 in favor, leaving the presidential position vacant until a new president is elected by the deputies, expected to happen on Wednesday. Jerí's short tenure has seen a lack of support leading to his political downfall.

The political climate in Peru has been tumultuous, with Jerí stepping into the role after the ousting of Dina Boluarte, which itself followed the controversial presidency of Pedro Castillo. With multiple parties from both left and right calling for his removal, Jerí's presidency has been marked by instability and criticism. Notably, Congresswoman Francis Paredes of the leftist party Peru Libre called his presidency 'shameful,' indicating widespread discontent about his leadership.

As Peru’s Congress prepares to select Jerí's successor, the ongoing political instability raises questions about the future governance of the country. The political system has been fraught with challenges and leadership changes, contributing to public disillusionment with elected officials. The evolving situation poses implications not only for domestic policies but also for Peru's international relations as the country seeks a stable government in a volatile region.
