Chilean President Michelle Bachelet

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has asked all her Cabinet ministers to submit their resignations while she decides who stays and who leaves in the next 72 hours, the Associated Press reported.

Bachelet is faced with the lowest approval ratings of her political career, and recently acknowledged that corruption scandals have rocked her administration.

"Some hours ago I asked all of my ministers to submit their resignation," Bachelet said on Wednesday in a local Chanel 13 interview with Mario Kreutzberger, better known as Don Francisco, the popular host of "Sabado Gigante". "This is the time for a Cabinet change." A poll released on Wednesday shows Bachelet's approval rating at 31 percent in April, unchanged from March. That's the lowest for her current administration and her 2006-2010 presidency. The survey was carried out by Gfk Adimark, which surveyed 1,049 people between April 7- 29. It has an error margin of 3 percentage points.
