Right-wing populist Keiko Fujimori has been declared the winner of Peru’s presidential election by a narrow margin, after a protracted vote-counting process.
When all the votes have now been counted, it is clear that Fujimori will receive 50.1 percent of the votes rounded off against 49.9 percent for the left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez, the country’s election commission Onpe announces.
That’s a difference of just under 50,000 votes.
Keiko Fujimori is the daughter of the authoritarian and de facto deposed and imprisoned president Alberto Fujimori.
