JUST IN: President Rules Out Elections (DETAILS)

Former Vice President Dina Boluarte addresses lawmakers after being sworn-in as the new president at Congress in Lima, Peru, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022.

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte ruled out early elections on Thursday, her first day in office following her predecessor Pedro Castillo’s dramatic ouster and arrest.

Boluarte became Peru’s first female President on Wednesday after lawmakers defied Castillo, who had attempted to dissolve Congress earlier that day and call for early elections ahead of a third impeachment vote against him.

Peruvian lawmakers called the move a coup, and on Wednesday, a majority of the 130-member Congress voted to impeach Castillo. According to the country’s Attorney General, the former president was later arrested for alleged rebellion.
