Peru: Wall Street Favorite Leads over Ex-President's Daughter in Presidential Race
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Peru, former Wall Street investor and World Bank economist Pedro
Pablo Kuczynski appears poised to win the presidential race, defeating
Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of imprisoned former President Alberto
Fujimori. Keiko Fujimori, who was expected to win, is trailing in a
tight race amid corruption scandals and protests over the legacy of her
father, who was imprisoned for crimes including ordering massacres by
death squads.
