- Peru’s presidential runoff shows a razor-thin gap between candidates
Peru’s presidential runoff election has a narrow gap of less than 20,000 votes between Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori with 96% of ballots counted. The winner will become Peru’s ninth president in 10 years, with final results expected within 30 days. Both candidates are associated with controversial former leaders, and voter concerns include rising crime linked to illegal gold mining.
