(FILES) Peru's presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori, for the Fuerza Popular party, fixes her hair during the third round of debates on tackling crime and corruption at the Lima Convention Center in Lima on March 25, 2026. The daughter of former autocrat Fujimori, a television comedian, and a millionaire businessman sympathetic to Trump, all right-wing figures, are emerging as favorites ahead of the April 12 presidential election to govern a Peru besieged by organized crime and a prolonged political crisis. Keiko Fujimori leads the latest polls, which predict a runoff in June between her and whichever candidate prevails between Carlos Alvarez and Rafael Lopez Aliaga in a first round featuring a record 35 candidates.
