Peruvians to elect new president
Peru is voting for a new president yesterday after one of the most unpredictable and tightly-contested campaigns in recent history.
The front-runner is a left-wing former army officer, Ollanta Humala, but he is not expected to win the 50% required for outright victory.
Four other candidates have a realistic chance of getting through to a run-off.
They include Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori.
Also in contention are former President Alejandro Toledo and former Prime Minister Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, as well as Luis Castaneda, a former mayor of the capital, Lima.
