BOGOTA (Reuters) -Peruvian President Dina Boluarte's tenure was marked by turmoil from the moment she assumed power, but the unpopular leader was able to hang on for years until she was removed from office y Congress in the early hours of Friday.
Boluarte, a 63-year-old mother of two from a village in the mountainous region of Apurimac, was elected as vice-president in 2021. She became Peru's first female head of state when former President Pedro Castillo was ousted and arrested after trying to dissolve Congress in late 2022.
