Peru votes for ninth president in less than decade

Presidential and legislative elections have begun in Peru, with 27 million voters set to choose the country's ninth president in a decade. Since 2018, the country has faced political instability marked by impeachments and corruption scandals, leading to voter disillusionment. With 35 candidates on the ballot, none appear likely to reach the 50% needed to win, making a June 7 runoff likely.
