In a closely contested race, the National Jury of Elections (JNE) in Peru has officially declared right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori as the winner of the presidential election, beating her left-wing rival Roberto Sanchez by a narrow margin. The vote count ended earlier this week, with Fujimori securing 9,223,000 votes and Sanchez trailing behind with 9,173,000. Fujimori, daughter of the late former President Alberto Fujimori, who was jailed for human rights abuses, has promised to address crime and unite the country, which has been plagued by political turmoil and a stagnant economy. The election has been marred by allegations of irregularities and fraud from Sanchez, who had strong support among rural and Indigenous voters. Despite these claims, no concrete evidence has been presented to substantiate them. Fujimori is set to take office in late July, becoming Peru's ninth president in ten years. Her victory has been aided by overseas support, and her opponents, including Sanchez, may seek to impeach her once she is sworn in. However, any attempt at impeachment will have to navigate shifting dynamics in Peru's Congress, which is now reconstituted with a Senate for the first time since the 1990s. The success of an impeachment would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The administration of United States President Donald Trump, known for supporting right-wing candidates across Latin America, had backed Fujimori's candidacy.
