Peru’s Pedro Pablo Kuczynski may face a new opposition attempt to force him from office after one party shifted its position and said it would now support an impeachment motion of its own.
New Peru, which chose not to vote in December’s impeachment ballot, told reporters Thursday that new information has emerged about Kuczynski’s ties to Brazilian builder Odebrecht SA. Minutes earlier, another leftist party, Broad Front, said it is also seeking support for an new impeachment motion.
