Peru political crisis: Congress chooses third president in a week amid protests

Description

Peru's Congress on Monday chose a 76-year-old former World Bank official as the South American country's new president - the third in a rollercoaster week of political upheaval. Francisco Sagasti was elected as lawmakers met to try to move on from a crippling political crisis, sparked by the impeachment of a popular president and the resignation of his controversial successor amid protests that killed two people.
