New Day. New President.

Ollanta Then

Ollanta Humala, the nationalist candidate running for the country's presidency, won the election last night, defeating Keiko Fujimori by a slim margin. The former military general, who led a failed military revolt in 2000 and has ties to Hugo Chavez, has toned down his stance on a number of issues in an attempt to shake himself of his extremist past and gain the favor of moderate voters. But Humala's calls to change the Peruvian constitution make you wonder if the man has changed as much as he says he has. Will we see another Hugo Chavez or a man with "warm ties to the United States?" Time will tell.
