Peru's Presidential Run off: A Study in Polarization Peru's tumultuous presidential election has taken another dramatic turn, with leftist candidate Roberto Sanchez and right wing candidate Keiko Fujimori set to face off in a June run off.
The official results of the April 12 first round vote have been tallied, showing Sanchez secured second place by a narrow margin over ultraconservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga.
The prolonged counting process has left Peru's electoral system in disarray. The country's top electoral official resigned amid controversy and is now under investigation by the public prosecutor.
