Humala wint de voorverkiezingen, en maakt grote kans om de nieuwe president van Peru te worden. Mocht dat het geval zijn, dan is heel Zuid-Amerika nu in de handen van links (met uitzondering van de narco-staat Colombia).
Links Latijns-Amerika is de place to be voor iedereen die de toekomst van de successvolle strijd tegen het corporate communism wil zien.
Profiel van Humala, die de voorverkiezingen wint:
Ollanta Humala, 42, a self-proclaimed nationalist and former army officer, is a political unknown. He first came to public attention when he led a military rebellion against the government of Alberto Fujimori in 2000.
Although he describes himself as a "nationalist" and not a "leftist", during his campaign Mr Humala has been keen to associate himself with left-leaning leaders such as Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Argentina's Nestor Kirchner.
However, his rhetoric places him closer to Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Bolivia's Evo Morales, something that has unnerved US officials and foreign investors.
Mr Humala says he intends to rewrite the constitution in order to "stop the process of neo-colonialism in Peru" and is emphatically opposed to the signing of a free trade agreement with the United States.
He has threatened to review contracts signed with international companies and to impose a "windfall tax" on foreign mining firms.
Although Mr Humala has toned down his nationalist rhetoric during his campaign, his success in the polls has sent jitters through Peru's stock markets and many foreign firms have put investments on hold until the outcome of the elections is known.
Support for Mr Humala is concentrated among Peru's poor rural population, who believe he can offer an alternative to the corruption and sleaze of traditional politics.
However, his campaign has been overshadowed by allegations of human rights violations committed while he commanded a military battalion in the battle against Shining Path rebels in 1992.
His support has also been weakened by President Chavez's apparent endorsement of his candidacy and his perceived lack of a firm policy programme.
