Peruvian right-wing presidential hopeful Rafael Lopez Aliaga gathered hundreds of supporters in Lima on Tuesday and gave authorities 24 hours to annul the first round of the country's election over allegations of fraud. Lopez Aliaga, a fan of US President Donald Trump, is locked in a tight three-way race with a leftist candidate and a social democrat for second place in Sunday's vote. The election runner-up wins a ticket to June's presidential run-off against conservative frontrunner Keiko Fujimori.
