Lima, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Mar, 2018 ) :As Peru's Congress on Thursday began debating president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's resignation, it echoed a previous presidential resignation that rocked the South American country.
On November 21, 2000, Congress impeached corruption-accused president Alberto Fujimori on the grounds of "permanent moral incapacity," bringing to an end weeks of political drama.
Fujimori had resigned by fax -- sent from his hotel room in Japan -- but this was rejected by Congress, which chose instead to punish the ex-strongman.
By resigning on the eve of an impeachment vote, Kuczynski was hoping to avoid the same fate.
