LIMA - Peruvians on Sunday elected a new Congress with some 10 parties represented and no single majority, according to an Ipsos exit poll reported by local news, refilling the empty legislature that was dissolved in September.
Congress was shuttered last year by President Martin Vizcarra after a long-running battle with lawmakers over an anti-corruption drive. The special election was triggered last year when Vizcarra used a controversial constitutional provision to close Congress after they repeatedly failed to endorse his plans. The move was deemed legitimate by Peru’s top court earlier this month.
All but one of the parties expected to win seats received between 5% and 9% of votes, according to the poll. Center-right Popular Action will be the largest bloc with 11.8% of the votes.
