Peruvian Prime Minister Alberto Otarola resigned his post Tuesday while defending himself against corruption allegations, depriving President Dina Boluarte of a key political ally.

Panorama TV reported over the weekend that Otarola had a romantic relationship with a woman who obtained a government job. The TV program played an audio recording alleged to have taken place between the two.
