Keiko Fujimori, daughter of an ex-president jailed for massacres, was heading for a runoff vote on Monday that could make her Peru's first female leader.
In an election marred by allegations of vote-buying and a day after an attack left seven people dead, Fujimori, 40, had a double-digit lead over the second-place contender, centrist rival Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, 77.
But since Fujimori fell short of 50 percent, she must now face Kuczynski in a second round vote on June 5.
