LIMA, June 3 (Xinhua) Peruvians are looking to presidential hopefuls Keiko Fujimori and Pedro Castillo, who will face off in a runoff Sunday, to provide swift solutions to the country s economic and social problems caused by COVID-19. Whichever of the two has to provide immediate answers, and that is a huge challenge when it comes to healthcare and the economy, political analyst Fernando Tuesta of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru told Xinhua in a recent interview.
The winner of the June 6 elections, whether it is Fujimori of the Popular Force party or Castillo of the Free Peru party, faces enormous challenges . and I think they surpass the capability of any government, said Tuesta.
In early May, Keiko Fujimori addressed her supporters wearing the white-red Peru soccer jersey that has become her campaign attire as her bid for the Andean country's presidency has gained pace ahead of a run-off vote on Sunday.
Lima, Jul 1 (Prensa Latina) A prominent Peruvian analyst on Tuesday warned that if Peruvian candidate Pedro Castillo were to win the presidency in a close vote next Sunday, his rival, Keiko Fujimori, will refuse to accept it, alleging a non-existent fraud.
