Frequent presidential turnover in Peru since 2016 has been driven by a combination of political scandals and institutional design. Several presidents have been weakened by corruption allegations, confrontations with Congress, or controversial actions. However, the 1993 constitution has made it easier for these crises to end in removal. It allows Congress to impeach presidents for “permanent physical or moral incapacity,” a loosely defined provision that has been repeatedly used to turn individual failures into leadership change.
