Voters in Peru headed to the polls today to cast their ballots in a run-off presidential election that many hope will mark the end of the nation’s political crisis. Opinion polls last week showed the moderate, candidate Alejandro Toledo with a narrow lead over a left-leaning former President Alan Garcia. Both candidates have campaigned on similar populist platforms. f71Meanwhile, pre-election surveys indicate that up to 25 percent of voters in Peru plan to spoil or leave their ballots blank to show their dissatisfaction with both candidates.
