Peru s presidential election likely headed for 2nd round, poll shows Reuters 2/14/2021
LIMA, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Less than two months before Peru s presidential election, five candidates have emerged in the upper tier of a contest that appears headed for a second round of voting, according to an opinion poll released on Sunday.
Support for front-runner and former soccer goalkeeper George Forsyth, of the conservative National Restoration party, fell six percentage points to 11%, according to the poll. His closest rival is former legislator and lawyer Yonhy Lescano of the Popular Action party, who advanced four notches to 10%.
The survey by polling firm Ipsos Peru and published in the newspaper El Comercio.
While Latin Americans struggle to leave behind the bleak year of 2020 they’re dealing with a pandemic that has left more than 550,000 dead; their economies are trying to recover from the worst recession in a century; and they are going through a new super-cycle of elections that began with Bolivia’s October 2020 general elections and that will not culminate until late 2024. During this period all the Latin American countries except Cuba will go to the polls to elect or re-elect, by direct popular vote, their respective presidents and legislators.
This year there will be 15 elections: five presidential and legislative elections (in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Nicaragua, and Honduras); three exclusively legislative elections (in El Salvador, Argentina, and Mexico); elections for the constitutional assembly in Chile; and several local or regional elections in six countries (El Salvador, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, and Venezuela).
Meet the Candidates: Peru

Peruvians will head to the polls in April to elect a new president after an unprecedented period of political instability and widespread protests in late 2020 following the impeachment of former President Martín Vizcarra. Below you’ll find information on the leading candidates in the race, who were polling at 5% and above as of March 14, according to Ipsos. Yonhy Lescano and Rafael López Aliaga were added after rising above 5% in Ipsos polling. There are two rounds of voting. If no candidate wins an absolute majority of votes in the first round on April 11, the top two candidates will compete in a runoff on June 6.
