Peru: The battle of the centre right
The battle for the presidency of Peru is now a two-way affair between Keiko Fujimori of Fuerza Popular (FP) and Pedro Pablo Kuczysnki of Peruanos Por el Kambio (PPK). In the first round on 10 April, Fujimori took 39.8% of the vote against 21.0% for Kuczynski, but in the second round due on 5 June the contest is still open: much will depend on how the supporters of other defeated first round candidates re-assign their votes. Both candidates are seen as market-friendly centre-right candidates. Here we look at their main economic policy promises.
