LIMA, Oct. 29 -- Peruvian Prime Minister Juan Jimenez Mayor said on Tuesday he is resigning and will be replaced by a local governor.

Jimenez, who took office in July 2012, said in a televised interview that other cabinet changes will soon be announced by his successor, Cesar Villanueva Arevalo, president of the northern San Martin region.

"Every cabinet has its end," Jimenez told the local cable channel ATV, but he refused to say who else are leaving President Ollanta Humala's government.

The cabinet reshuffle is expected to take place more than a month before decisions typically announced in December.
