Peru Congress rejects proposal to move elections forward to December 2023, despite nearly two months of protests that have left dozens dead following the ousting of ex-president Pedro Castillo
Indigenous protesters march calling the resignation of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte through the main road of Cusco, Peru.
After five hours of debate on Wednesday, lawmakers rejected a bill that would have advanced elections to December by 68 votes to 54, with two abstentions. Peru has been embroiled in a political crisis with near-daily demonstrations since December 7, when then president Pedro Castillo was arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.
Roadblocks erected by protesters have caused shortages of food, fuel and other basic commodities in several regions of the Andean nation.
