[world politics news]


By a lopsided 450 to 10 votes, Eduardo Cunha, the former speaker of the lower house who led the impeachment of former Pres. Dilma Rousseff, has lost his seat and has been barred from politics for eight years amid perjury and corruption claims. He has now lost parliamentary immunity and may be charged in a bribery and kickback scandal.
