A woman reads the front page of La Razon newspaper, which reads "The fight continues!" The nail-biter race for Peru's presidency tightened Tuesday as the daughter of imprisoned ex-president Alberto Fujimori gained ground on her rival thanks to votes trickling in from remote rural areas and embassies abroad. Former World Bank economist Pedro Pablo Kuczysnki has a razor-thin lead over Keiko Fujimori.
On today's show:
- Peru’s election agency says it has processed about 99.5 percent of the ballots from last weekend’s vote and the frontrunners are still locked in a neck and neck battle. We talk about the tight race, which will likely to be decided by absentee ballot counts.
- We meet a group of Chicagoans working to restore the ecosystem of the Chicago River.
- We talk to the president of the anti-sex trafficking organization Selah Freedom, about their new Chicago operations.
