Keiko Fujimori Leads Narrowly in Peru's Presidential Runoff Amid Fraud Claims
Peru's presidential runoff between right-wing Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sanchez concluded with Fujimori holding a narrow lead of 50.11% to 49.89% after nearly all votes were counted. Sanchez alleged electoral fraud without evidence and called for annulment of overseas votes favoring Fujimori, which electoral authorities rejected. Fujimori, daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, is poised to become Peru's first elected female president amid political instability and economic challenges. Official results are expected in mid-July.
