Peru’s Presidential Front-Runners Shift With Election Days Away

Peru’s presidential race shifted in one of the last polls before the April 12 election, signaling late momentum for the outsider candidacy of comedian Carlos Alvarez.

Keiko Fujimori, a three-time presidential runner-up who heads the right-wing Popular Force party, led the Ipsos poll for Peru 21 with 13% support, followed by Alvarez at 9% and former Lima Mayor Rafael López Aliaga, who slipped to third with 8% after months of running neck-and-neck with Fujimori.
