LIMA (Reuters) -Peru's lawmakers swore in Congress chief Jose Jeri as the country's new president less than an hour after unanimously voting to remove President Dina Boluarte, as anger mounted over rising crime and accusations of corruption.
One of the world's least popular leaders was ousted shortly after midnight on Friday, just hours after various political blocs first presented motions for Boluarte's removal on grounds of moral incapacity.
