Peru election chief resigns

Peru's electoral crisis has deepened as officials have still not named a winner in the contest to choose the country's ninth president in a decade.

Corvetto cited 'logistical problems' and intense political pressure as the reasons for his departure, just hours before he was scheduled to be questioned by prosecutors.

The election has been dominated by allegations of fraud and procedural failures, leading to widespread civil unrest across the country.

The resignation follows the departure of the Defense Minister, further destabilizing the interim government as it struggles to maintain order.
