Castillo has been impeached and removed from office after attempting to dissolve Congress. Dina Boularte will be the first female President of Peru.
Dina Boluarte became Peru’s first female President on Wednesday, capping off a dramatic day which saw her predecessor arrested for the alleged crime of rebellion and impeached by lawmakers.
Boluarte, the country’s former vice president, was sworn into the top job at Congress to become Peru’s sixth President in under five years.
The ceremony took place hours after a majority of 101 members in the 130-person legislative body voted to impeach former leader Pedro Castillo.
