Peru: Fujimori Declared Winner of Presidential Election
The electoral authority said Fujimori won 50.135% of the vote after a 22-day count in one of Latin America’s closest races in decades.
- The Peruvian election commission announced on Monday that right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori won the presidential race, concluding a runoff that was one of the closest elections in Latin America in decades.
- Final results show Fujimori secured 9,223,396 votes, or 50.135%, while leftist candidate Roberto Sanchez received 9,173,755 votes, or 49.865%, with the electoral authority finishing the tally 22 days after the June 7 election.
- Her victory marks the return of her family name to power more than two decades after her father, former President Alberto Fujimori, was ousted; this election represented her fourth bid for the job.
- Earlier, Sanchez refused to recognize a Fujimori-led government, citing a "serious violation of the electoral process," reflecting ongoing domestic friction after the contentious vote.
- Fujimori will replace interim President Jose Maria Balcazar for a five-year term on July 28, as the nation faces ongoing challenges from crime and political instability that dominated the race.
