Voting Underway in Peru’s 35-candidate Presidential Race | WION Pulse

On Tuesday, from a balcony in Lima's historic San Martin Square, Ricardo Belmont — who, at 80, is Peru's oldest presidential hopeful — closed his campaign with a message to his supporters.

It was time, he told the crowd, to kick out the corruption that has gripped Peru over the past decade.

"We are no longer a nation. We are just surrogates for these corrupt parties," said Belmont, a conservative who served as mayor of Lima in the early 1990s. Though initially lesser-known, Belmont has, in recent days, emerged as one of several viable candidates to make the run-off.
