This was today, completly overshadowed by the Brazilian election.
Ipsos' rapid count at 80.9% for Metropolitan Lima mayoral election, very close race:
Rafael López Aliaga (Renovación Popular): 26.1%
Daniel Urresti (Podemos Perú): 25.9%
George Forsyth (Somos Perú): 18.8%
Elizabeth León (Frente de la Esperanza): 10.4%
Omar Chehade (Alianza para el Progreso): 7.1%
Gonzalo Alegría (Juntos por el Perú): 6.5%
María Elena Soto (Avanza País): 3.5%
Yuri Castro (Perú Libre): 1.7%
Exit poll at 5pm was López Aliaga 26.8%, Urresti 25.8%, Forsyth 19.4%, León 8.7%, Chehade 7.5%, Alegría 6.5%
Also many other local races around Lima and all Perú happened as well the governor' races, many of them with civic/independent candidates leading.
I see a few former presidential candidates ran. is the mayor post powerful? Is it seen as a potential springboard for higher office?
