Peru’s President proposes plan to bring elections forward

12/13/2022 17

Peru’s new president, Dina Boluarte, is planning on bringing general elections forward by two years to April 2024.

In a televised address Boluarte said she would submit a bill to Congress to hold elections in April 2024 instead of April 2026.

She declared a state of emergency in areas where protests have erupted.

The move represents an about-turn as she had said upon taking office that she would serve out the remainder of Pestro Castillo’s five-year term in office in full.
