Issued on:
A nail biter unfolding in a polarised Peru. The hard right's Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of a jailed former president against a populist political novice, the far-left's Pedro Castillo. Which way for a nation beset by corruption and mismanagement? Where Covid's only accentuated the inequality gap. Will the result clear the air in a Peru that has been through five heads of state in five years?
Castillo's called for a rewrite of the constitution penned under his rival's disgraced dad, Alberto Fujimori. What sort of democracy much the same question Chile's asking itself after recently electing a constituent assembly.
More broadly, is Peru's increasing polarization a bell weather for a region where after 2019's social protests, the pandemic seems to have only accentuated a hardening of views?
