In a tight race decided by less than 50,000 votes, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori has been declared the winner of Peru's presidential election, nearly a month after the vote took place on June 7. The daughter of disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori, who was jailed for crimes against humanity, received 50.135% of voters' support, while her left-wing opponent Roberto Sánchez garnered 49.865%. This marks the fourth time Keiko has sought Peru's presidency and will be the ninth president in a decade for the Andean country. Her election coincides with Abelardo de la Espriella's win in Colombia, signaling a shift towards right-wing leaders in Latin America. Fujimori plans to address concerns over crime and political instability by implementing a military crackdown on organized crime, attracting private investment for economic growth, and expelling undocumented immigrants committing crimes in Peru. Sánchez has questioned the integrity of the runoff election, alleging irregularities, and his party has appealed against the electoral court's proclamation. As Fujimori prepares to take office on July 28, she will join a growing list of right-wing leaders in the region, including Colombia's Abelardo de la Espriella and others like El Salvador's Nayib Bukele and Ecuador's Daniel Noboa. This trend poses Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as the predominant left-wing standard-bearer in the region, facing off against Jair Bolsonaro's son later this year.
