It is likely he will face former President Alan Garcia, a left-leaning populist, in a second round in late May or early June, the preliminary results showed. Eight candidates were vying to become the successor to disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori. Toledo, 55, finished second to Fujimori in elections last year but ended up boycotting a fraudulent runoff against the autocratic leader, who fled Peru in November amid mounting corruption scandals. Among those glad to see an end to the Fujimori era is Susana Higuchi, his ex wife. Early official returns representing 11.73 percent of districts gave Toledo 36.38 percent on Sunday, compared to 25.7 percent for Garcia and 24.01 percent for Lourdes Flores, said Fernando Tuesta, who is in charge of overseeing the vote. Transparencia, a widely respected independent election watchdog group, had similar forecast based on a sample of ballot tallies. Toledo faced his strongest challenge from Garcia, a discredited ex-president returned from exile, and Lourdes Flores, a conservative former congresswoman. Garcia, 51, a tall, silver-tongued populist, led Peru's government from 1985 to 1990. His administration left the country mired in hyperinflation and surging guerrilla violence. Forced into exile two years after Fujimori was elected in 1990, Garcia returned in January when corruption charges against him expired. His phoenix-like resurrection is a tribute to his oratorical skills and, according to his foes, to the amazingly short memories of his countrymen. Flores, 41, is a member of Lima's white elite with a reputation for honesty. She had been in second place in opinion polls going into Sunday's election, but her campaign had begun to fade in recent days after her father made a racial slur against Toledo. The election was the first since the ousting of Fujimori, Peru's iron-fisted ruler for more than a decade.
