Vote comes after it emerged Kuczynski hid ties with Odebrecht, the Brazilian construction firm facing corruption allegations in 12 countries.

The vote followed the revelation that a company Kuczynski owned had business ties with the Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht, which has been at the centre of Latin America’s biggest corruption scandal.
