LIMA, April 12 (Reuters) - Right-leaning candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga is leading Peru’s presidential race with 23.4% of the votes, early results of the official vote count showed Sunday. 

Center-left candidate Jorge Nieto trailed with 16.4% of votes, with 5% of ballots counted. 

A third candidate, right-wing Keiko Fujimori, had 16.1% of the votes.  

If no candidate clears the 50% threshold needed to win outright, the two most-voted candidates would advance to a second round, scheduled for June 7.
