Peru's Congress impeaches President Jose Jeri
Change
Peru's Congress voted 75 to 24 with three abstentions to impeach and remove President Jose Jeri from office four months into his term.
Why it matters
The removal creates an immediate executive leadership gap days before the April 12 general election, complicating decision-making and slowing policy continuity. It also reinforces a recurring pattern in Peru where the 'moral incapacity' impeachment pathway enables rapid presidential turnover, increasing institutional unpredictability.
Implications
- • Members of Peru's Congress must vote to select an interim president at a scheduled session on Feb 18, 2026.
- • Peruvian prosecutors must continue criminal investigations into Jose Jeri on corruption charges.
