Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Sunday evening promised to propose a constitutional reform to move general elections to October 2023 if lawmakers do not reconsider a proposal to advance the elections to later this year.
Lawmakers on Friday rejected a proposal that would open the door to holding elections this year.
If Congress does not reconsider the proposal on Monday, Boluarte said she would also present a bill that would require the next elected Congress to oversee a “total reform” of Peru’s 1993 constitution.
