Keiko Fujimori locks up Peru presidency with insurmountable lead in vote count
The Straits Times—Keiko Fujimori has secured an unbeatable lead in Peru's presidential runoff, cementing what amounts to an effective victory before official results are finalized. The win marks a political comeback for the three-time candidate, who had previously been blocked from taking office by legal battles and narrow defeats. International observers are watching how Fujimori, whose father Alberto governed in the 1990s, will shape Peru's next chapter.
