Fourth attempt for Fujimori as Peru heads to presidential election

Early Sunday morning, polling stations opened for the approximately 27 million eligible voters in Peru.

"The disorder and corruption are great, but we will vote, as always, for the lesser evil," said Hugo Vasquez, a 67-year-old handicrafts vendor in Lima.

Conservative Keiko Fujimori is making her fourth attempt at becoming president. She is haunted by the legacy of her father, the authoritarian, deposed and imprisoned President Alberto Fujimori.

Roberto Sánchez, who is running for the third time, is accused of cheating over party contributions and risks being put on trial.

Opinion polls indicate a close race, and the election results are expected to take several weeks.
