Dina Boluarte, Peru's first female president, appeared in a military ceremony Friday in her first official event as head of state. It’s an attempt to cement her hold on power and buck the national trend of early presidential departures.
Peru's new President Dina Boluarte walks to her car after speaking to the press as she leaves her home in Lima, Peru, early Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022. Peru's Congress voted to remove President Pedro Castillo from office Wednesday and replace him with the vice president, shortly after Castillo tried to dissolve the legislature ahead of a scheduled vote to remove him.
Some politicians already were calling for early elections in an indication of continued political rancor.
