Left-wing nationalist won the first round but not by a margin wide enough to avoid a runoff, which he will dispute with either Keiko Fujimori or Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. Credit: Reuters/Pilar Olivares By Terry Wade and Patricia Velez LIMA | Mon Apr 11, 2011 3:04am EDT LIMA (Reuters) - Left-wing nationalist Ollanta Humala led the first round of Peru's presidential election early on Monday, with two pro-business rivals battling for second place and the chance to challenge him in a June 5 run-off, according to official results. With 50 percent of ballots tallied after Sunday's vote, officials said Humala had 27.62 percent of the votes, followed by former Wall Street banker Pedro Pablo Kuczynski at 23.11 percent and rightist lawmaker Keiko Fujimori at 21.95 percent. Three earlier unofficial samplings of ballots, however, showed Humala with a wider lead and Fujimori advancing to the run-off with a lead of 2 to 4 percentage points over Kuczynski. Despite a decade-long economic boom, a third of Peruvians live in poverty and many rallied behind Humala, a former army officer who has positioned himself as a man of the people facing rivals backed by big business. "We want the wealth of Peru to be well distributed," said Juan Urteaga, 18, from the Andean city of Cajamarca. "How is it that my city is close to one of the world's biggest gold mines, Yanacocha, but my city has one of Peru's highest poverty rates?" Polls suggest both Fujimori and Kuczynski would have trouble defeating Humala in a second round vote and economic analysts said Sunday's results might hit Peruvian asset prices. Fujimori, 35, supports existing free-market policies, but is shunned by many Peruvians because her father, former president Alberto Fujimori, is in prison for corruption and human rights crimes stemming from his crackdown on guerrillas in the 1990s. Kuczynski, 72, a former prime minister known as "El Gringo" because of his European parents, would have trouble gaining traction outside of Lima, where he is strongly backed by wealthy voters. Humala, a former army officer who led a short-lived military revolt in 2000, has softened his anti-capitalist tone since narrowly losing the 2006 elections. "We are willing to make many concessions to unite Peru, we are going to talk with all political forces," Humala told cheering supporters. "Social problems must be resolved through dialogue." WAKE-UP CALL Former President Alejandro Toledo, the early frontrunner in the campaign but now running fourth in the vote, said Humala's lead was a sign that complacent elites and an inept civil service had not done enough to fight social inequality. "This is a wake-up call," Toledo said. "The economic growth model is not reaching the majority of Peruvians and they have expressed their discontent at the ballot box today." Humala, 48, has surged in the race by recasting himself as a moderate in the vein of former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and distancing himself from his former political mentor, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. His rivals have sought to hurt his chances by saying he would step up state control over the economy, rolling back reforms and jeopardizing some $40 billion of foreign investment lined up for the next decade in mining and energy exploration. 1 2 Next World Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
