Peru right-wing presidential hopeful Fujimori appears poised to win runoff
Electoral officials have counted 99.86% of ballots, leaving only 131 tally sheets as Sanchez alleges fraud and rejects the result.
- Right-Wing candidate Keiko Fujimori has built a mathematically unbeatable lead in Peru's presidential runoff election as the official vote count reaches its final stages.
- Data from the National Office of Electoral Processes shows Fujimori holds 50.12% of the vote with 99.86% of ballots tallied, giving her a razor-thin but decisive lead of just over 43,000 votes against leftist rival Roberto Sánchez.
- Election officials reported that only about 39,000 votes across 131 uncounted tally sheets remain to be processed, meaning it is mathematically impossible for Sánchez to bridge the gap.
- Sánchez has explicitly refused to recognize a potential Fujimori government, alleging administrative irregularities in how the electoral authority handled roughly 300,000 ballots cast by citizens living overseas.
- While Fujimori's party has stated it will wait for the entire count to finish before declaring victory, the official election winner will not be formally certified until mid-July ahead of the July 28 presidential inauguration.
