  Rural vote upends Peru count: leftist Sanchez overtakes Lopez Aliaga and advances to runoff

  

  The count in Peru's presidential election produced a dramatic reversal on Wednesday. With 91% of ballots processed by the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), leftist Roberto Sánchez (Juntos por el Perú) surged from sixth to second place, displacing ultraconservative Rafael López Aliaga (Renovación Popular) and positioning himself for the June 7 runoff against Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular), who holds first place with 16.99% of the vote.
