MICHAEL HOLMES, WORLD NEWS: The Organization of American State is suspending its role as election monitor in Peru. The OAS says it is concerned about possible fraud by the government of President Alberto Fujimori. CNN's Harris Whitbeck reports on the vote that is scheduled for Sunday.</s>HARRIS WHITBECK, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Peru's national electoral office demonstrated how prepared it is to properly count votes during the second round of voting in the country's presidential elections. "We hope this process will be trouble free and are working towards that end," said one official. The electoral authority said in a communique that it had solve the computer problems that had led opposition candidate Alejandro Toledo to say he would not participate in the second round and that an observer mission from the Organization of American States had approved the process. Both Toledo and the OAS reacted angrily to those statements.</s>ALEJANDRO TOLEDO, PERUVIAN PRES. CANDIDATE: The infrastructure for a flawed process is there. It operated in the first round, subsisted for the second round. We make the decision of not participating in the elections of May 28 if this is carried out.</s>WHITBECK: The OAS announced it was temporarily suspending its observation mission. "There's too much confusion," said the head of the mission. "They have wanted our observers to sign documents that have just confused the whole process." Less than a week before the second round, questions about the Peruvian election continue. In campaign rallies this weekend, Toledo tried to show the people are behind his denunciation of what he considers electoral fraud. But according to opinion polls, half of the electorate supports incumbent Alberto Fujimori and said the allegations of fraud are part of the opposition's campaign strategy. (on camera): Peru's electoral authorities must now decide whether to go forward with the second round of voting in which one of the two candidates refuses to participate or to look for a later date that would be acceptable to both the opposition and to electoral observers.
