POLITICS: Congressional chameleons
The clash for congress ahead of the 10 April general election has
begun in earnest, with 1,690 candidates, grouped in 13 different electoral
alliances, competing for an enlarged 130-seat unicameral congress (up from
120). Peru's governability over the next five years will be dictated by
the nature of the political split between the executive and the congress. An
outright majority in the legislature will be difficult to achieve in the
elections and nigh on impossible to maintain.
