LIMA – Centrist economist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is expected to beat Keiko Fujimori, the conservative daughter of a jailed former president, in Peru’s June 5 presidential runoff election, according to an Ipsos poll published on Sunday.
The first poll published since both candidates made it through the first round of voting earlier this month showed Kuczynski getting 44 percent of the vote compared to Fujimori’s 40 percent.
Peru’s free-market model would be maintained in either a Kuczynski or Fujimori presidency, as both candidates favour the economic system that has been in place for 25 years.
“What this poll tells me is that our economic proposal is good, our social investment proposal is good and that we haven’t communicated well enough our proposal for citizen security and we are going to communicate it,” Kuczynski said after the results were published.
