Peru Likely to Face Runoff Presidential Vote

HeadlineApr 10, 2006

In Peru, a retired army officer who once tried to overthrow the Fujimori government is leading the country’s presidential race. With less than half of the votes counted, Ollanta Humala is ahead with 27 percent of the vote. The race will likely to go to a second round runoff vote in May. Humala has called for the nationalization of Peru’s natural resources, new taxes on foreign mining companies, a veto on a trade agreement with Washington and an end to US-sponsored eradication of coca.
