Right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori won Peru’s presidential run-off with a wafer-thin majority of 50.13 percent of the vote, the country’s election commission has said.
Fujimori, the daughter of late president Alberto Fujimori, was declared the winner on Monday on her fourth bid for the top job, beating leftist Roberto Sanchez.
Fujimori vowed to restore “order and hope” after her victory.
“Each time we draw closer to starting on the path of order and hope for all Peruvians,” Fujimori wrote on X after being proclaimed the winner of the June 7 election run-off.
