Alejandro Toledo arrived to vote with his wife Eliane Karp at a high school in La Molina. “I hope that God illuminates Peruvians to vote for the path for growth with social justice,” Toledo commented to press.  Photo: Andina

Keiko Fujimori voted in a high school in the district of Surco. She told press she had election day breakfast on the same table used by her father, ex-president Alberto Fuijimori, before the 1990 election.Photo: Andina

Luis Castañeda, who fell to last place in polls in the last month, voted in La Molina. He says he is still optimistic and admitted to losing “several kilograms” during the campaign. Photo: Andina

President Alan García voted this morning at a high school in the district of San Borja.

“I want to express my peace of mind that all that has progressed over the last years in our country will not be reversed; we will not have upheavals,” García told press after his vote. (See video below.)

Asked if he plans to run again for president, which he would be able to do in 2016, García said it was too early to say.  Photo: Andina
