Castillo supporters remain cautious after first round victory in Peruvian presidential election

LEFTIST presidential candidate Pedro Castillo is leading in the first round of polling in the Peruvian presidential election, with a second round of voting to take place in June.
The country’s National Elections Jury (JNE) announced on Monday that the final results are not likely to be published until May.
“We will announce who will go to the second round of presidential elections in the first week of next month,” JNE president Jorge Salas said.
Mr Castillo, who is candidate for the Marxist-Leninist Peru Libre party, was ahead on 16.1 per cent of the vote, far short of the total needed to avoid a run-off with the second-placed candidate.
