Peru’s Sanchez to face Fujimori in runoff as rival signals protests over fraud– www.france24.com

Left-wing candidate Roberto Sanchez climbed to second place in Peru‘s presidential election on Wednesday, positioning himself to face conservative Keiko Fujimori in a June runoff, while his nearest challenger threatened protests over alleged voter fraud.

With more than 90 percent of ballots tallied, the daughter of divisive former President Alberto Fujimori has garnered nearly 17 percent of the vote, followed by Sanchez with 12 percent. Ultraconservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga was third with 11.9 percent.

Sunday’s election ran into Monday in parts of the capital Lima because of delays in the delivery of ballots and other materials.
