Presidential election races in Peru have a history of being unpredictable. What initially seemed to be a three-way battle to succeed outgoing president Alan Garcia now appears to be a five-way tussle ahead of the first round of voting on April 10 according to a report from Capital Economics.
Ultra nationalist former military officer Ollanta Humala has knocked out former president Alejandro Toledo as the leading candidate for Peru’s tightest presidential campaign in recent history.
Two weeks before the first round of voting in the Peruvian presidential election the two leading candidates are technically tied, and so are runner ups, according to the latest public opinion poll published this week in the Lima media.
With less than three weeks to April 10 Peruvian presidential election the electorate remains volatile with no candidates assured a first round victory (50% plus one votes cast) or making it to the run off.
With less than a month to Peru’s presidential election April 10, the tailing candidates have been advancing and the favourites have been loosing ground, according to the latest public opinion poll from Ipsps-Apoyo made public in the Lima media.
Former Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo continues to lead public opinion polls for the April 10 presidential election followed in a tight race by Congress member Keiko Fujimori and the ex mayor of Lima, Luis Castañeda.
Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo has extended his lead ahead of 10 April’s presidential election with Keiko Fujimori possibly disputing the second round, according to a public opinion poll by Lima-based Datum International.
