Elections in Peru and Democracy in Latin America
Candidates for the presidency of Peru: Pedro Castillo and Keiko Fujimori
Peru will pass, in day 6 June 2021 for a second round of a highly polarized presidential election. On the one hand, temos Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, from another, the far-left candidate Pedro Casillo. curiously, the first round was not one of great electoral polarization, having castillo only obtained 19% of votes while Fujimori achieved mere 13%. That is, 68% of voters preferred other candidates.
We should then observe a polarization induced by institutions, no case, the electoral rule. Two candidates in very distant positions on the economic spectrum will campaign to convince a core mass of voters who didn't think their proposals were the best right away..
