Peru’s prime minister has resigned from her post. The resignation of Denisse Miralles on Tuesday comes ahead of a mandatory vote in the nation’s Congress where she needed a majority of legislators to confirm her recent appointment. Miralles was appointed as prime minister in late February, after Interim President José Jerí was removed from his post following corruption allegations and replaced by congressman Jose María Balcázar. Peru has seen eight presidents in the past decade, with several heads of state removed by Congress amid corruption allegations.
