...junta members, more responsive to the sentiments of old-line army men who remember bloody clashes with the Apristas in the 19305, were not so sure. But Peruvians outside the barracks, particularly Haya's main rivals-nationalistic Architect Fernando Belaúnde Terry and ex-Army Strongman Manuel Odria-insisted that the promised elections be held. Under this pressure, the new three-man junta renewed its "unswerving decision to hold elections next June 9." New President Lindley, who cherishes no affection whatsoever for Haya and APRA, felt compelled to announce that "so far as I know, there...
...coalition government with the man who finished second, Fernando Belaúnde. Instead, Belaúnde cried that Haya had been elected by fraud-an accusation investigated and rejected by Prado's respected Electoral Tribunal. So Haya agreed to give his support to the third candidate, Manuel Odria, an ex-general who had ruled Peru as a dictator from...
Obviously no one except Belaúnde had much stomach for a test of arms. Last week, backers of Haya got together with the camp of the third presidential candidate, ex-Dictator Manuel Odria, and reached an "agreement in principle" to form a national union government.

...some 29,000 ahead of Haya. APRA's figures showed Haya with 546,407, ahead of Belaunde by 34,000 votes. The closest thing to an impartial estimate was in ex-Premier Pedro Beltran's La Prensa: Haya, 586,000 (32.75%); Belaunde, 579,000 (32.32%); Odria, 500,800 (27.95%). It would probably be three weeks before the last votes were counted officially...
