An unlikely comeback in Peru

Article Abstract:

Alan Garcia whose earlier presidential term was calamitous emerged as an unexpected winner in Peru's close-fought presidential election. He emerged victorious because he promised what most Peruvians wanted, democracy and social justice and hence he may become the harbinger of a brighter future for Peru's democracy and it is hoped that under Garcia's government, Peru's deep socioeconomic divides may at least be bridged and democracy may move closer to consolidation.
