Keiko Fujimori wins Peru's presidential election
Peru's conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori has won the presidency, defeating left-wing rival Roberto Sanchez in the June 7 runoff after weeks of disputed ballot reviews. The daughter of late authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori is the latest in a string of right-wing victories reshaping Latin American politics. Her margin of victory was fewer than 50,000 votes out of more than 18 million cast.
