The first official results from Peru's presidential elections gave a small lead to right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori, but the election was too close to call as of early Monday.

Peruvian electoral authority ONPE said so far it had counted 42% of the vote. Of those, Fujimori was the preferred candidate for 52.9% of voters, while left-wing candidate Pedro Castillo was the preferred option for 47.1%.Turnout was 77%."These results are the first official data from the polling stations that sit closest to the counting centers, that means urban votes.

Interim President Francisco Sagasti became the country's fourth president in less than five years after Congress voted to oust popular ex-president Martin Vizcarra and Vizcarra's replacement, Manuel Merino, resigned.Peruvians are most concerned about how the country will recover from the pandemic, which has exposed rampant inequality that persists despite significant increases in gross domestic product and decreases in average poverty rates in recent decades.

When is going to cover Pedro Castillo’s win? He’s widened the lead to almost 100,000 votes more than Keiko Fujimori. It’s an amazing win by a populist candidate whose power is the Peruvian people. Have you interviewed him? Why the blackout?

OH no, I'm afraid the fake media has taken over Peru, they are spreading misinformation like they are doing in the USA.

I know you should never judge a book by it's cover, but I would vote for the one on the left in the image...!? Just a hunch..

No doubt if she gets elected the first thing she will do will be to pardon her corrupt father and his cronies and award reparations.
