Fujimori Set to Win Peru, but Her Rival Refuses to Accept It
Keiko Fujimori holds a lead in the official count, on course to win the presidency on her fourth attempt after three earlier defeats. With 99.9% of votes counted, she leads by approximately 41,800 votes (50.11% to 49.89%), but her rival refuses to accept the results. Votes from Peruvians living abroad may be the deciding factor.
