Peru's presidential election starts on April 12. The country has seen nine different presidents in the past decade, with crime and corruption being top issues for voters. A record 35 candidates are running, including Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former leader Alberto Fujimori. The election will also determine congressional seats, with voters selecting candidates for a Senate for the first time since 1992. If no candidate wins over 50% of the vote, a second round will be held on June 7. The large number of candidates may contribute to voter confusion.
