Keiko Fujimori Leads Tight Peruvian Presidential Election After Initial Results

Keiko Fujimori is currently leading a closely contested presidential election in Peru, according to the first official results released on June 7. However, election officials caution that the initial tally of ballots is not yet enough to establish a definitive or irreversible trend in the race.

The election, held on June 7, saw Fujimori face off against other candidates, including Roberto Sánchez. Images from a presidential debate held in Lima a week prior show both Fujimori and Sánchez engaging in the political discourse leading up to the crucial vote.
