In a significant political move, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte appointed Eduardo Arana as the new prime minister. This decision follows the resignation of former Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzen, who stepped down ahead of a Congressional censure vote.

Adrianzen's departure stemmed from widespread criticism over his management of rising crime rates and the deaths of a group of miners. His resignation triggered a domino effect, requiring the entire cabinet to step down, including key positions such as the economy and interior ministers.

With the upcoming elections, Boluarte's administration faces mounting pressure to address escalating crime, a key challenge that has contributed to its unpopularity. The reshuffling of leadership comes at a critical time for the Andean nation.
