LIMA, April 5 (Reuters) - Right-wing ⁠candidate Keiko Fujimori holds first place in the polls one ⁠week before Peru's presidential election, according to three polls released ‌on Sunday.

Since none of a record 35 presidential candidates are expected to win more than 50% of the vote, a runoff election is expected to take place on ​June 7.
