Peru’s conservative president-elect Keiko Fujimori has vowed to restore “order and hope” after defeating left-wing candidate Roberto Sanchez, in the latest victory for a resurgent Latin American right.

Axar.az informs, citing The Guardian, Fujimori won the 7 June presidential runoff by the slimmest of margins, outpolling Sanchez by fewer than 50,000 votes out of the more than 18 million ballots cast, the final results showed.

Peru’s National Electoral Jury is scheduled to officially announce a winner on 3 July after weeks spent reviewing contested ballots.

“Each time we draw closer to starting on the path of order and hope for all Peruvians,” she wrote on X after being proclaimed the winner.
