Peru's political landscape has been likened to a three-ring circus, marked by an unprecedented turnover of leaders. Since 2020, the country has witnessed the appointment of eight different presidents, with an average term of less than a year. Starting with Martín Vizcarra's ousting in 2020 for corruption, the subsequent leaders faced equally tumultuous tenures; Manuel Merino lasted under a week, while Francisco Sagasti, who served near a year, was notable for transferring power legally. The democratic election of Pedro Castillo in 2021 was overshadowed by his impeachment after just two years for attempting a constitutional coup, marking another significant upheaval.
