LIMA (Reuters) -Peruvian President Jose Jeri swore in the first members of his cabinet on Tuesday, sending the most concrete signals yet about how he would govern after vaulting into power last week following his predecessor Dina Boluarte's abrupt ouster.

Jeri swore in Ernesto Alvarez, the former head of Peru's Constitutional Court, as his prime minister and head of the cabinet. Alvarez, 64, served as a magistrate on the court between 2007 and 2014, and presided over the body in 2012.
