Daughter of Peru ex-president Fujimori leads in polls
http://news.yahoo.com/daughter-peru-ex-president-fujimori-leads-polls-232657079.htmlLima (AFP) - Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of disgraced ex-president Alberto Fujimori -- currently serving a 25-year prison sentence -- is far ahead in a poll of Peruvian presidential hopefuls out Tuesday.
With six months to go before the April 2016 election, Keiko Fujimori with the right-wing Fuerza Popular (Strength of the People) has 32.9 percent support, according to a CPI survey.
Fujimori, 40, has twice as much support as her nearest rival, conservative former cabinet minister Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who has 15.8 percent support.

Third in the poll is Alan Garcia, who was president twice before (1985-1990 and 2006-2011).
(Garcia is polling at 7.8%)
