Garcia Near Win in Peru Presidential Vote

Former President Alan Garcia Appears Headed for Victory in Peruvian Presidential Election

By MONTE HAYES

LIMA, Peru Jun 4, 2006 (AP)— Former President Alan Garcia, whose 1985-90 government left Peru mired in guerrilla violence and economic chaos, appeared headed toward victory over nationalist ex-army officer Ollanta Humala in Sunday's presidential runoff.

A stunning comeback seemed imminent for a man whose name had been equated with political disaster along with a rejection of a political upstart enthusiastically endorsed by Venezuela's anti-U.S. president, Hugo Chavez.

Garcia led with 55.5 percent of the vote against 44.5 percent for Humala, according to an official count of 77.3 percent of ballots.
