Centre-right candidate Keiko Fujimori has won the first round of Peru's presidential election, early results say. 
With two-fifths of ballots counted, Fujimori had 39% and appeared likely to face Pedro Kuczynski, a former World Bank economist, in a June run-off vote, according to the (BBC). 
Kuczynski had 24% while leftist Veronika Mendoza had 17%. 
Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, says tackling crime is her priority. 
She is also supported by some Peruvians who credit her father with defeating the country's Maoist Shining Path rebel group. 
However, other Peruvians have said they would never support anyone associated with her father, who is currently serving 25 years in prison for ordering death squads to massacre civilians during his attempts to end the insurgency.
