OAS Watching Peru Elections
Organization of American States (OAS) observers are opening Monday their operation center in Peru to monitor the April 9 elections.

The group, made up of 80 people from Canada, Central America, Argentina and Colombia, is led by Canadian Lloyd Axworthy.

Axworthy is scheduled to meet with several presidential nominees and the OAS will present the report on the Peruvian vote at the end of the process.

About 20 candidates are disputing the Peruvian presidency at the April 9 voting, when over 16 million people over 18 have been called.

If any candidate gets more than the 50 percent of the valid ballots, then the two most-voted will go to the May 7 run-off.
