In an election Sunday, Peruvians will choose a president who upon inauguration in July will become its 10th leader in 10 years. The last to complete a full term was Ollanta Humala in 2016. The stretch since then has included three resignations, three impeachments and a removal by censure. Six presidents this century have been charged with corruption; three so far have been convicted.

10 years, 10 presidents. Peru’s leaders don’t last. Voters will try again.

Elections on Sunday offer Peruvians another once-in-five-years chance to set the nation on a new path. All signs suggest they won’t.
