The leftist candidate Ollanta Humala will play the second round of presidential elections in Peru, but the identity of his rival, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Keiko Fujimori, is still very uncertain, according to projections and partial official count on Sunday night.
The former Lieutenant-Colonel Humala, 48, who was beaten in the second round in 2006, obtained 27% of the vote, according to partial results announced by the electoral body (ONPE) with 43% of the votes counted, around 22:30 local (0330 GMT Monday).
But much indecision reigned over his rival for ONPE, former Wall Street financier and former Liberal prime minister (2005-06) Pedro Pablo Kuczynscki, 72, came in 2nd place with 23.6% voice.
Behind him, Keiko Fujimori, the populist right-wing member of 35 years and daughter of former authoritarian President of the years 1990-2000 now imprisoned Alberto Fujimori obtained 21.8% of votes.
According to the polls to exit polls, on the contrary that Fujimori would face Humala in the second round: she would surpass Kuczynski 1.8 to 3 points, according to the institutes.
"They gave us dead, and here we resurrect!" Kuczynski began his supporters in Lima, calling for patience.
According to some pollsters, Kuczynski could be caught, as the late arrival of voting provinces, supposed him to be less favorable.
But a reliable picture of the second round, June 5, might not emerge for several days, as in 2006, due to a slow count of official recounts.
"Everything leads us to believe that we will be in the second round," he told his supporters Humala Sunday night, giving them an appointment "on July 28th (the date of nomination) to the Presidency, for a big change, a major redistribution wealth ".
"We are in the second round!" Keiko Fujimori also provided at the center of Lima, to a crowd chanting "Chino" Chino "," nickname of his father.
A possible second-round Humala Fujimori has been described by analysts as heralding a sharp polarization of political life: "Humala is the leftmost, the rightmost Keiko, the two models are authoritarian," has said AFP has Luis Benavente Group opinion of the Catholic University of Lima.
He put a face to face left-nationalist candidate, accused by his opponents of being close to President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela illiberal, and the daughter of a former head of state autocratic prison for massacres of civilians during the repression of the guerrillas of the 90s, and corrutpion.
A choice "between a dark past and a leap into the void," said Alejandro Toledo, the centrist former president (2001-06), distanced with 15.4% of votes.
For the Nobel Prize for Literature Mario Vargas Llosa, Alberto Fujimori defeated for the presidency in 1990, the duel would be "a disaster".
Nearly 20 million Peruvians voted without incident on Sunday to elect a successor to Alan Garcia (center right) after a campaign dominated by the urgency of sharing the record growth (+ 8.78% in 2010), which has forgotten the way 34% of people living in poverty.
Toledo, conceding defeat, said Humala "was able to channel the anger of Peru", for this growth without distribution of profits.
Humala, who fought in the 90 Maoist guerrillas, is very popular in the Andean regions underdeveloped.
Since 2006, he moderated his rhetoric and anti-liberal marked his distance from Chavez, whose support had probably cost him the victory five years ago.
The Peruvians also renewed their unicameral parliament. According to the partial count, it comes out fragmented, with Humala's party in the lead, followed by Keiko Fujmori.
