Record ID: 4273

  • Title: Peru: Alejandro Toledo Pays Courtesy Call On Alan Garcia
  • Date: 8th April 2001
  • Summary: Peru's presidential favourite Alejandro Toledo has paid a courtesy call to Alan Garcia, the leftist ex-leader who appeared to have forced him into a second round runoff after closer-than-expected general elections. Toledo, who finished first but well short of the outright victory he predicted, arrived at Garcia's party headquarters just before midnight on April 8 as official results from the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) gave him 36. 39 percent support with just over 19 percent of votes counted. Garcia, president at the helm of a catastrophic 1985-1990 term, had 25. 82 percent of the vote, according to the ONPE tally.
