Peru’s Congress voted Tuesday to remove interim President José Jerí amid corruption allegations, deepening political instability just weeks before the April elections.

Jerí, who assumed office on Oct. 10 after predecessor Dina Boluarte was dismissed, faces a preliminary investigation over undisclosed December meetings with two Chinese executives, which he denies were improper.

With 75 votes in favor, Congress will now select a new interim president to serve until the winner of the April 12 election takes office on July 28.

Peru has seen seven presidents since 2016, with lawmakers using a constitutional “moral incapacity” clause to remove leaders amid corruption and high crime, the AP has reported.

Despite the political turmoil, the economy has remained stable, and the upcoming election features prominent candidates including Rafael Lopez Aliaga and Keiko Fujimori, with a potential runoff in June if no candidate wins a majority.
