Peru: Humala awaits run-off, second-place up for grabs
Ollanta Humala won Peru ’s presidential election with nearly 30% of the vote, yet fell far short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Humala’s closest rivals, Lourdes Flores and Alan Garcia, are running neck-and-neck to see who will meet Humala in a run-off; as of tonight at 7:30pm EDT, Garcia has less than a half percent lead over Flores with slightly more than 75% of votes tallied. Meanwhile, congressional elections also held yesterday show Garcia’s party winning just over 20% of votes, though the big surprise was a pro-Alberto Fujimori party winning 13% of the vote including Fujimori’s daughter and brother.
