Peru's prime minister resigns ahead of no-confidence voteThe resignation of the prime minister - the third to serve under Boluarte - forces the president to replace her entire cabinet, adding to Peru's political upheaval. Members of Peru's Congress had called for the no-confidence vote after the recent kidnap and killing of 13 mine workers , which shocked the country. The prime minister of Peru, Gustavo Adrianzén, has resigned hours before he was due to face a no-confidence vote in Congress. Under Peru's constitution, all ministers have to step down if the prime minister quits. Shortly before Prime Minister Adrianzén announced his resignation, Boluarte had reshuffled her existing cabinet, announcing new ministers of finance, interior, and transport.
