PERU: Inching closer to first female president
Keiko Fujimori is knocking on the door for the second presidential election in a row. Her problem is distancing herself from the dark legacy of her father Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000). While she has a far higher support base than any of her rivals, her ceiling is not a great deal higher. The latest opinion polls show that Keiko will come out on top on 10 April but fall well short of the 50% plus one required to win. They also suggest she could contest a likely run-off in June against another female candidate – Verónika Mendoza. This would guarantee that Peru ends up with a female president for the first time in its history.
