Peru's conservative Fujimori leads presidential vote in a tight race

Peru's runoff is razor‑close: with over 90% counted Keiko Fujimori leads 50.48% to Roberto Sanchez's 49.52%, a gap under 200,000 votes.
Polls showed a statistical tie and the count is tightening — echoing the nail‑biter 2021 runoff that took weeks to settle.
Votes from Lima (Fujimori's stronghold) are counted first, while Sanchez could gain as rural ballots are tallied.
