POLITICS: Castañeda carves out lead
The popular mayor of Lima, Luis Castañeda, is opening up a gap at the
head of opinion polls for the presidential elections in 2011. Castañeda received
30% support in a survey carried out by the Pontificia Universidad Católica del
Perú in late November. He was followed by Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of
convicted former president Alberto Fujimori, on 18%. Ollanta Humala, the leader
of the Partido Nacionalista Peruano (PNP), who took incumbent president Alan
García to a second round in the 2006 elections, came third on 15%, with the
leader of the conservative Partido Popular Cristiano (PPC), Lourdes Flores, on
10%.
