LIMA, June 11 ― Socialist Pedro Castillo was closing in on victory in Peru's presidential election yesterday, holding a slim lead of some 63,000 votes over conservative rival Keiko Fujimori, who has yet to concede and has alleged fraud despite scant evidence.
“The people have awakened,” Castillo told supporters from a balcony in Lima late yesterday, calling on citizens to recover the country for all Peruvians after a divisive election race. Castillo's Peru Libre party says there is no evidence of suspicious activity. Independent electoral observers say the vote was carried out cleanly.
Peru's current interim government said in a statement it had filed a “note of protest” to Argentina over the comments, with the final results not yet formally announced by the country's electoral authority. Bolivia's former President Evo Morales also congratulated Castillo on his “victory,” calling him a “soul brother and companion in struggle.”Castillo's thin lead over Fujimori is more sizeable than the 0.24 per cent margin by which Fujimori lost to Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in the 2016 presidential election.
Yesterday, prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez requested that Fujimori's bail be revoked and she be returned to custody pending the trial, arguing that she had been in contact with a witness.
