Peru’s presidential race continues to twist and turn
With just a fortnight until Peru’s general election on 10 April, the presidential race is still on shifting sands in the wake of the controversial expulsion of two of the leading candidates and a string of complaints before the electoral authorities about several others, including the two frontrunners. Amidst all this legal noise, the only two certainties right now are that, in a repeat of the 2011 contest, the longstanding poll leader Keiko Fujimori does not have nearly enough support to take a first-round victory and so the race will go to a second round on 5 June. The identity of her putative run-off rival is very much up in the air, however.
