Peruvian sol drops as Sánchez nears runoff with Fujimori

Investing.com -- The Peruvian sol fell at the opening on Wednesday as left-wing presidential candidate Roberto Sánchez moved closer to a runoff against conservative Keiko Fujimori.

Peru entered its fourth day of vote counting on Wednesday with no clear second candidate to face conservative leader Keiko Fujimori in a presidential runoff, official data showed with about 90% of ballots counted.

Left-wing congressman Roberto Sánchez and right-wing former Lima mayor Rafael López Aliaga are competing for second place with about 12% of the votes, followed closely by center-left candidate Jorge Nieto with roughly 11%, Peru’s electoral body, ONPE, said.
