Two political scientists consulted by The Republic analyzed the electoral campaigns of Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular) and Rafael Lopez Aliaga (Popular Renewal) and They agreed that a fierce war is coming between both presidential candidates to bring together the votes of the right.
Political scientist Eduardo Dargent considered that López Aliaga has managed to connect with a sector that gives him a certain strength and, mainly, he has positioned himself at an intermediate point that reaches the upper and popular classes of Lima and added that It is inhibiting, until now, the growth of Fujimorism and other right-wing votes.

“Popular Renewal is more radical than Fujimorism on a series of issues and at the same time has entered sectors where Fujimoriism previously had more strength. So it seems to me that a war to the death is coming between Popular Renewal and Popular Force for the votes of the right, because it is very difficult for them to look for votes elsewhere,” he explained.
Dargent stated that, probably, if other candidates grow in the polls, López Aliaga will be the one who concentrates the right-wing vote. “Fujimorism carries more contempt, with more anti, than Popular Renewal,” he pointed out.
For his part, political scientist Eduardo Salmón maintained that Renovación Popular is stealing votes from Fuerza Popular with a campaign based on populist proposals that only seek to attract attentionsuch as DNI for neonates, prisons guarded by shushupes snakes or the Ministry of Human Beings.
“With all his absurd proposals and the unfinished works he left in Lima, such as the misnamed Vía Expresa Sur, Rafael López Aliaga is eating up Keiko Fujimori’s candidacy because they compete for the same electorate. There is a sector that is already bored with Keiko, it knows that she is not going to win, that she is called a loser, because she is, and has decided to bet on López Aliaga, even the business sector has turned the corner,” Salmón said.

And the war seems to have already begun. In recent days, López Aliaga pointed out, in reference to Keiko Fujimori, that there are people who make a living from the political campaign. “In five years he does nothing, then he shows up to see how he raises funds and saves the half as bread for May and the other half he will put it into his political campaign,” he said.
He added that he did not receive from the Brazilian company Odebrecht compared to Keiko Fujimori who received donations. “The lady (Keiko Fujimori) has received money, I understand why she was in the campaign, but what It was not a crime at that time.. Now it is a crime, right? But it is already the moral issue,” he asserted.
Last Friday, the daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori did not remain silent and responded to him. He considered that some of Rafael López Aliaga’s expressions and proposals seem like “a joke.”
