José Enrique Jerí Oré (born 13 November 1986) is a Peruvian lawyer and politician. He was the 65th President of Peru from 10 October 2025 until 17 February 2026.[1][2] He became president after Dina Boluarte was impeached by the Congress.
In January 2025, Jerí was accused of sexual assault by a woman who said he raped her during a party.[3][4] He had also been accused of taking bribes early in his career.[5][6]
Jerí ran for, and was elected, to the Peruvian Congress in the 2021 Congressional election, representing Lima. He was later elected to be President of the Peruvian Congress on 26 July 2025.[2]
On 17 February 2026, Jerí was removed from the presidency by the Peruvian Congress in a 75-24 vote.[7]
