"Regional governors of Peru expressed their support for interim President Jose Jeri on Monday, while also sharing their main concerns during a working meeting in the Tupac Amaru Hall of the Government Palace in Lima. Footage shows Jeri bidding farewell to the governors at the main entrance of the Government Palace, after which the officials reaffirmed their support for the former legislator in remarks to the press. Rosa Vazquez, Regional Governor of Lima, said the governors offered Jeri 'recommendations' aimed at ensuring the country's stability and voiced hope that he will choose his new ministers carefully following the resignation of all 18 cabinet members under ousted president Dina Boluarte. "That he chooses his ministers wisely, not ministers from a folder, [but] ministers who go to the field and solve the problems that exist today. We want this government to move forward, because the success of this transitional government is the development of our communities," she said. Wilfredo Oscorima, Regional Governor of Ayacucho, called on political forces to 'set aside personal party interests' and maintain unity to 'defeat crime and poverty.' Similarly, Jorge Perez, Regional Governor of Lambayeque, urged the Congress of Peru to understand that "political problems cannot outweigh the needs" of the country. He noted that while Peru faces issues of security and hunger, there are officials who are "calculating politically to benefit in one way or another for the next elections." The regional governors agreed to hold a technical meeting with Jose Jeri's new cabinet on 21 October. After the dismissal of Dina Boluarte, accused of alleged corruption and human rights violations, Jeri assumed the position of interim president, which he will hold until the new elections scheduled for April 2026."
