"Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of the late, disgraced 1990s strongman Alberto Fujimori, has been walking a tightrope between cloaking herself in her father's legacy and distancing herself from his serious human rights abuses."
"Despite consistently polling around 10%, that figure may be both her electoral floor and ceiling, with many Peruvians blaming her and her party for their nation's ongoing political turmoil."
"One recent survey found that 54% of Peruvians said they wouldn't vote for her under any circumstances, indicating significant public discontent."
"A run-off election in June between the top two candidates is all but inevitable, as established candidates fail to gather momentum amid widespread fury with the political class."
Peru's upcoming election presents a record 35 presidential candidates, highlighting the nation's political instability.
