The National Jury of Elections (JNE) in Peru has officially declared Keiko Fujimori as the winner of the presidential race, defeating left-wing rival Roberto Sanchez by a margin of 50,000 votes. The announcement was made on Friday, concluding weeks of vote counting following the June 7 run-off election. With her victory, Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori who served prison time for human rights abuses, will become Peru's ninth president in ten years, taking office in late July. The election was marked by delays in ballot distribution and lengthy vote counts, leading to allegations of irregularities from Sanchez, who has strong support among rural and Indigenous voters. However, no evidence of fraud or vote tampering has been provided. Fujimori's victory was aided by overseas votes, and her rival may seek to rally his base for an impeachment attempt once she is sworn in. The success of such an endeavor will depend on the dynamics in Peru's Congress, which will reconstitute its Senate this month after being dissolved in the 1990s. For an impeachment to be successful, it must pass both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate with two-thirds votes. Fujimori has run for president three times before, but this is her first victory. Her tough-on-crime message resonated with voters amidst a surge in organized crime in Peru. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, which supports several right-wing candidates across Latin America, had backed Fujimori's campaign.
