Dina Boluarte was Peru’s sixth leader in just under a decade. A normal presidential term is five years.
She assumed power in Peru in 2022 to complete the term of then-President Pedro Castillo, who was removed from office just two years into his five-year term after attempting to dissolve the legislature to avoid his own removal. She had served as Castillo’s vice president before becoming president.
Love Peru. One of my favorite countries. Spent 10 days in the Amazon. Incredible.
