PERU: Flores breaks away from the pack
It is early days yet, and Peruvian voters are still very divided in their preferences, but within that framework an interesting trend has been developing: Lourdes Flores, of the Partido Popular Cristiano (PPC), has been gaining steady ground, while her two closest rivals, former presidents Alan García and Valentín Paniagua, are not only far behind her but have been losing ground just as steadily. One prominent pundit recommends keeping an eye on Ollanta Humala of the Movimiento Etnocacerista (ME), who might just be 'coming up from behind'.
