Peruvian President Alan Garcia has sworn in a new, leftist-led government days after the previous cabinet resigned over corruption allegations. The biggest change is the choice of Yehude Simon, a leftist regional governor from outside the ruling party, as prime minister. Most of the other 16 posts have gone to members of the previous cabinet. Analysts say the choice of Mr Simon is an attempt by President Garcia to boost his own popularity after the scandal.
