Event Summary

Peru's presidential election is in its fourth day of vote counting, with a razor-thin margin separating conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori and leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez (politician). Sanchez currently leads by approximately 10,000 votes, but Fujimori has gained ground with expatriate votes. A significant number of ballots are flagged for judicial review by Peru's International — Special Electoral Jury, which is expected to determine the final winner. The process could take several weeks.
