Brazil coalition partners 'to vote for Rousseff impeachment'
13 April 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
Two former coalition partners of Brazil President Dilma Rousseff say they will vote for her impeachment over claims she manipulated government accounts.
The Progressive Party (PP), which quit the coalition on Tuesday, says most of its 47 MPs would vote for the impeachment.
The Republican Party (PRB) said its 22 members had been told to vote for it.
The move comes weeks after the PMDB, the largest party in the the lower house, voted to leave the coalition.
Ms Rousseff says her opponents are plotting a "coup".
