The author analizes why almost half the Peruvian electorate voted NO at the last constitutional referendum of October 31st, 1993, notwithstanding that all forecasts, including those of the opposition, predicted that no less than sixty per cent would vote YES. He also considers the result of the polls, previous to the referendum, which indicated that President Fujimori's popularity had increased since the capture of Shining Path's leader, Abimael Guzman, and the fact that the official group tried to turn the referendum to approve the new constitution into a plebliscite to back the President.
