Peru's Fujimori leads presidential runoff election
Peru's conservative presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori has opened a lead over her leftist rival in a runoff election on Sunday, early results showed, after a campaign focused on crime and the country's socioeconomic divide.
Peruvians are choosing between Fujimori, the daughter of hardline former President Alberto Fujimori, and leftist congressman Roberto Sanchez, who often campaigns wearing a cowboy hat and, like imprisoned former President Pedro Castillo, has strong support in rural areas.
