Flores Nano and García Lead All in Peru
(Angus Reid Global Scan) - Lourdes Flores Nano is the most popular presidential hopeful in Peru, according to a poll by CPI. 18.1 per cent of respondents in Metropolitan Lima would vote for the Popular Christian Party (PPC) member in next year's election.
Former president Alan García of the American Revolutionary People's Alliance (APRA) is second with 13.1 per cent, followed by former head of state Valentín Paniagua of Popular Action (AP) with 11.2 per cent. The eventual nominee of Alberto Fujimori's "Sí Cumple" (Yes, he keeps his promises) party would get 10.4 per cent.
Support is lower for Alberto Andrade of We Are Peru (SP), Jaime Salinas of National Justice (JN), Callao mayor Alex Kouri, Antauro Humala of the Etnocacerista Movement (ME), David Waisman of Possible Peru (PP), finance minister Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, and Marco Antonio Arrunátegui of Project Country.
Former president Fujimori—who is currently living in Japan—has expressed interest in becoming a candidate once again. Fujimori administered the government from 1990 to 2000, but cannot seek office until 2010 because of a congressional decision. Current Lima mayor Luis Castañeda has ruled out a presidential bid. The election is tentatively scheduled for April 2006.
