With 99.79% of the ballots counted, Peruvian right-wing presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori has secured enough votes to win the presidency, Reuters reported on June 23. Election authorities will likely announce the official results of the June 7 runoff vote in the coming weeks; the preliminary count so far has indicated a very tight race.

Election authorities took more than one month to confirm the results of the June 12-13 first-round vote. In recent days, Sanchez has repeatedly said he will not recognize Fujimori as president, and he has raised fraud allegations and filed a motion to annul votes of Peruvians abroad, where Fujimori won by a large margin. This is the fourth time Fujimori has run for president. She lost the past elections by less than one percentage point.
