Keiko Fujimori topped Peru's first-round presidential vote on April 12 with 16.6% according to Ipsos exit polls — the lowest first-round lead in modern Peruvian history — amid a record 35-candidate field. A June 7 runoff is all but certain, while the identity of her opponent remains unclear, with leftist Roberto Sánchez (12.1%) and centrist Ricardo Belmont (11.8%) competing for second place in a country that has cycled through eight presidents in less than a decade.
