SANTIAGO: Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has asked all her cabinet to resign and says she will choose a new cabinet in the coming days.
According to Canal 13, Bachelet said changes were needed to promote reforms.
She said that approval ratings have recently slumped amid a series of political scandals.
In February her son resigned as head of a government charity over allegations of influence-peddling.
“A few hours ago I requested the resignation of all the ministers, and I will take 72 hours to decide who will stay and who will go,” Ms Bachelet said on Wednesday evening.
“This is the time for a cabinet change.”
