Peru’s legislative body voted Tuesday to remove President Jose Jeri from power after serving just four months as the nation’s leader, amid controversy surrounding secret meetings with a Chinese business figure.
The South American country’s lawmakers used a censure motion to dismiss Jeri through a simple majority vote, extending Peru’s pattern of frequent leadership changes.
The president’s downfall stemmed from a scandal involving undisclosed encounters with a businessman from China, which ultimately cost him his position in the ongoing revolving door of Peruvian leadership.
