In the coming months, Keiko Fujimori will face off against Pedro Castillo in Peru\u2019s runoff presidential election following inconclusive results in the first round of voting, reports <\/span>BBC News<\/span><\/a>. Before the mid-April election, Peru experienced a lack of political identity and consistent authority. The country has gone through four presidents \u2013 <\/span>three in one week<\/span><\/a>, with one impeached and one killing himself to avoid arrest \u2013 within the last five years, states the <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keiko Fujimori is a conservative former congresswoman and daughter of Alberto Fujimori, an ex-president currently imprisoned for <\/span>human rights violations<\/span><\/a> during his reign. Fujimori represents the Popular Force Party with a platform built on supporting free-market policies, including expanding the mining industry to stimulate the economy. Through these initiatives, she claims that she will create two million jobs by developing infrastructure and investing in health and education, reports BBC News. Fujimori lost in the 2011 and 2016 presidential election run-offs, making this her third run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite her promising platform, Fujimori is being investigated for money laundering and corruption, two charges she claims are politically motivated. Between 2018 and 2020 she served 13 months in prison. Her criminal past and questionable morals may be the reason why she won only 13 percent of the votes in the mid-April elections and continues lagging behind her contender Pedro Castillo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to BBC News, Pedro Castillo is a 51-year-old schoolteacher and former mayor. Running on a leftist platform for the Free Peru party, Castillo plans to nationalize key economic industries such as mining, oil, hydropower, and gas. This is a campaign promise Castillo since <\/span>retracted<\/span><\/a>, stating \u201cI completely reject those that say that Pedro Castillo is going to nationalize.\u201d He appeals to the lower-income individuals from areas with low state presence, who feel historically underrepresented. Castillo won 19 percent of the votes in comparison to Fujimori, but not by a large margin.<\/span><\/p>\n

After years of corruption and political turmoil in Peru, voters have lost confidence in the ability of their political leaders to deliver and uphold democracy, let alone serve their interests. A poll recorded by the <\/span>Institute of Peruvian Studies<\/span><\/a> states that 28 percent of the Peruvian population would rather abstain than choose any of the current candidates. <\/span>The Guardian<\/span><\/a> reports other polls to indicate that voter disenchantment continues to rise in response to three presidents failing to control the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Castillo win, who is currently polling ahead of Fujimori at 41 percent according to a <\/span>Datum International poll<\/span><\/a>, would have Peru heading in a more reformative direction. Re-writing the constitution would not be an easy task, especially with the country\u2019s longstanding unstable political climate. Castillo winning would likely increase representation for Peru\u2019s low-income citizens who want their interests prioritized over those of the private sector. However, if Castillo reverses his decision not to nationalize key industries, state ownership of the country\u2019s most productive industries might expose the citizens to higher levels of politically motivated corruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, no matter what candidate rises to the occasion, Peru\u2019s political problems run deeper than just an election. Peru\u2019s political system has exposed its deep endemic corruption and inequality in its governmental and healthcare institutions. This was exemplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Peruvians, who are suffering from surging cases, had little to no access to medical assistance. Hospitals were short on supplies and workers while high-ranking government officials used their status to access the country\u2019s first vaccine doses in a scandal now dubbed \u201cvaccinegate.\u201d According to <\/span>The Washington Post,<\/span><\/a> some voters from the mid-April election \u201cfound themselves lining up Sunday both to cast a ballot and to secure tanks of oxygen for critically ill relatives.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, Peru\u2019s political spectrum is so wide, inconsistent, and polarizing. With a spectrum so broad, it still fails to represent the Peruvian people. Alfredo Torres, the head of Ipsos Peru, a local pollster, called the mid-April elections the \u201cmost fragmented elections in history,\u201d to <\/span>Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a>. This system leaves Peruvians again with a lack of confidence in their country and its future.<\/span><\/p>\n
