| Description | Peru has been thrown into political crisis after President Martín Vizcarra made good on a threat to dissolve Congress unless lawmakers backed his anti-corruption reforms.
Opposition lawmakers, who are in the majority in Congress, said the dissolution amounted to a coup d'etat.
They suspended Mr Vizcarra and swore in Vice-President Mercedes Aráoz as acting leader.
Meanwhile, Mr Vizcarra decreed that fresh elections be held on 26 January.
