Read the full account

On 10 October 2025 Peru’s Congress voted 122–0 to declare the presidency vacant for permanent moral incapacity. Dina Boluarte did not appear. José Jerí, president of Congress, was sworn. AP and BBC recorded the overnight session. A concert shooting and a 2025 crime wave sat as cited triggers. They are not converted here into a unique homicide integer from this night.

Context

She had been under repeated vacancy attempts. Rolexgate sat as neighbouring scandal. Jerí remains unresolved.

7 December 2022 oath is the parent succession. This vacancy ends the term. Keep Congress vacates Boluarte 122–0 for permanent moral incapacity on 2025-10-10 separate from neighbouring 7 December 2022 oath, 14 December 2022 emergency, OHCHR 2023 force findings, and 10 October 2025 vacancy.

The president of Peru is head of state and commands the national police. She can declare a state of emergency. She does not sit as every PNP rifleman in Juliaca, as the fiscalía, or as the 130-member Congress. Castillo is named as an unresolved person candidate.

What the sources establish

Congress of the Republic of Peru carries the official instrument or communique. Associated Press records the same dated act independently.

Established: Congress vacated her 122–0 on 10 October 2025; Jerí was sworn.

Not established: A unique later crime coefficient from that night, or that the vacancy rebates OHCHR’s 2023 force finding.

She did not appear. Jerí took the oath as president of Congress.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Congress vacates Boluarte 122–0 for permanent moral incapacity, not a later speech about Congress vacates Boluarte 122–0 for permanent moral incapacity.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress voted. She did not appear. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
