A Fujimori returns to Peru’s presidential office: Like father, like daughter?

Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, has narrowly won Peru's presidential runoff election, securing victory by just under 50,000 votes out of 18.4 million total. The result marks her first successful bid for the presidency and follows three consecutive closely contested elections in Peru, which have led to 10 presidents in 10 years. While the electoral commission will formally declare her as 'president-elect' on Friday, analysts note that her narrow win reflects deep divisions within the country. Critics warn that her leadership, influenced by her father's authoritarian legacy, could lead to further repression and erosion of civil liberties. Opposition figures and academics express concern that her administration may mirror the tactics of her late father, including the suppression of dissent and human rights violations.
