Yesterday, thousands of Peruvians waited as long as five hours to vote for their home country's next president at Queens College in Flushing.
The top three candidates were Ollanta Humala, Keiko Fujimori, and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (also known as PPK). The latter was the favorite among young Peruvians, as he has over 65,000 fans on Facebook.
After such a long wait, some didn't even get a chance to cast their vote before the polls closed at 6pm.
According to the National Electoral Processes Office (ONPE), the official results from Sunday's first round of Peru's presidential election was the following:
Ollanta Humala: 28.06 percent
Keiko Fujimori: 22.49 percent
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski: 22.29 percent
The two leading candidates will advance to a run-off on June 5 since no one won a majority. PPK is out of the running, yet his fans are still commenting on his page hoping for a miracle.
