⚡️🇵🇪 Peruvian Congress rejects bill calling for early elections

Peru's Congress on Friday rejected a bill to bring forward general elections from 2026 to December 2023, as protests continued across the country.

Hernando Guerra, president of the legislative constitution commission, presented the bill and explained that it would allow "enough time" to make corresponding electoral reforms, but failed to gain a congressional consensus broad enough.

Failing to get 87 votes needed to pass a proposal, the bill garnered 49 votes in favor, with 33 against and 25 abstentions.
