The Daughter Of A Jailed Ex-President Could Become Peru's Next Leader

Presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori waves after voting in Lima, Peru, on Sunday. Peruvians voted in a presidential runoff election to choose between Fujimori, the daughter of jailed ex-President Alberto Fujimori, and Pedro Castillo, a political novice that until recent was a rural schoolteacher.

Conservative Keiko Fujimori — whose dad, Alberto, is serving a 25-year sentence for corruption and the killings of 25 people — has a small lead over Pedro Castillo in Sunday's presidential election.
