LIMA, April 21 (Reuters) – The head of Peru’s electoral authority, Piero Corvetto, has resigned as pressure grows over the long delayed results from the country’s April 12 presidential election, local news outlet Canal N reported on Tuesday.
Corvetto had previously acknowledged logistical delays to the electoral process but denied that any irregularities took place. Canal N showed a letter it said was Corvetto’s resignation letter.
