Lawmakers fell short of a majority required to impeach Peru's President Martín Vizcarra on Friday.
Axar.az reports citing foreign media that 87 votes from the 130-member Congress were needed to remove the president from office, but after a 12-hour session, lawmakers voted 78 - 32 to reject the motion with 15 abstentions.
“I do not hide, I have not done so before and I am not going to do it now. I am here, with my head high and my conscience clear,” Vizcarra said.
The president asked for forgiveness for the trouble the recording generated, but insisted he committed no crime.
