Conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori has won the presidential election in Peru.

Conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori won Peru's presidential election with a narrow margin, according to the Associated Press. Fujimori received 50.13% of the votes, while her opponent Roberto Sanchez got 49.86%, with just 49,641 votes separating them out of 18.3 million ballots cast. Fujimori stated she would await the National Electoral Board’s official results with 'great humility, prudence, and responsibility.' Her opponent has already declared he will not accept the election results, claiming fraud in favor of Fujimori. Fujimori, daughter of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori—who was convicted for human rights violations and corruption—is a member of the conservative party 'Fuerza Popular' and ran for president for the fourth time. She promised strict measures against organized crime and plans for economic deregulation. Fujimori is set to take office on July 28. Political instability in Peru, which has had eight presidents in the last decade, stems from ongoing conflict between Congress and the government.
