With Peru's presidential elections being set for April 2016, many Peruvians cannot help but ask the question as to who will be the next President of Peru. President Ollanta Humala, who was elected in 2011 received a dismal 17% in his approval ratings.

The 40-year old has led the construction of several orphanages across Peru and has also helmed the construction of the first pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit in the country. She is also the leader of the conservative party, Fuerza Popular.

3. Milton von Hesse is the Peruvian National Party's presidential candidate. In a report with Peru Reports, Hesse became the National Party's presidential former interior minister Daniel Urresti stepped down from his presidential bid in favor of the less politically known Hesse.

"The President of the Republic called on me and I told him I accept the challenge. And as I am a man of only one shirt, I joined the ruling party," Milton said in a prior interview regarding his presidential candidacy.

4. Alejandro Toledo has advocated for free internet for everyone and says that he wants to increase the wages of all teachers. He was the former president of Peru from 2001 to 2006.
