Peru s presidential runoff pits far-left teacher against rightwing populist

Peru’s presidential runoff pits far-left teacher against rightwing populist France 24 4 hrs ago NEWS WIRES © Sebastian Castaneda, AFP Far-left labor unionist Pedro Castillo and rightwing populist Keiko Fujimori will square off in a second round of presidential elections that analysts say threatens to further polarize crisis-weary Peru.  With 96 percent of ballots counted by Tuesday, schoolteacher Castillo led with 19.09 percent while corruption-accused Fujimori daughter of jailed ex-president Alberto Fujimori, followed with 13.35 percent. The pair beat out 16 other candidates in a fragmented first voting round Sunday, and will face each other again for the runoff on June 6. In a country battered by the coronavirus epidemic, a steep economic downturn and years of political upheaval, no single candidate was able to fire up voters to obtain the 51 percent required for victory in the first round.
