BREAKING: VICE PRESIDENT FINALLY RESIGNS AMIDST POWER TUSSLE

Read Time:27 Second

Following the power struggle roils in the South American nation, the Vice-president of Peru, Mercedes Araoz has finally resigned from her position.

Araoz’s resignation came late Tuesday after President Martin Vizcarra on Monday disbanded the opposition-controlled Congress and called for fresh elections in January.

He said the move was necessary because the legislature has refused to pass a raft of anti-corruption reforms he has been championing, as well as changes to the way top judges are appointed.

Some Peruvians took to the streets in celebration.
