Public discontent over corruption and a surge in violent crime have plunged Peru into a political crisis.
In an overnight congressional impeachment session, lawmakers removed the unpopular President Dina Boluarte from office.

Jeri has now been sworn in and has vowed to tackle crime, seek national reconciliation, and ensure that fair elections are held next April.
