        "summary": "Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the controversial former president Alberto Fujimori, has been declared the winner of Peru's presidential election by a razor-thin margin. She will be sworn in on 28 July, becoming the country's ninth president in a decade, and faces the daunting task of uniting a deeply polarised nation. Her victory comes after a prolonged period of political instability and amid stark economic divides that have sparked deadly protests.",
        "content": "<p>Keiko Fujimori has been announced as Peru\u2019s new president-elect. The\n51-year-old is the daughter of the late Peruvian President Alberto\nFujimori and Susana Higuchi. Alberto Fujimori was the son of Japanese\nimmigrants in Peru. Her father was known for ruling Peru with an iron\nfist from 1990 to 2000 and was praised for defeating Maoist rebels and\ntaming runaway hyperinflation. Alberto Fujimori\u2019s reputation was\ntarnished by a bribery scandal involving former intelligence chief\nVladimiro Montesinos, which led him to flee to Japan, his parents\u2019\nhomeland, in November 2000, where he lived for five years in\nself-imposed exile. Alberto Fujimori was later sentenced to 16 years in\nprison for human rights abuses, and Keiko Fujimori spent years under\ninvestigation for campaign finance charges that were dismissed last\nyear. The Fujimori family remains a controversial dynasty in Peru. Keiko\nFujimori was detained several times between 2018 and 2020 during the\ninvestigation, spending nearly a year and a half in prison. She is no\nstranger to Peruvian politics, having served as the country\u2019s first lady\nin 1994 after her parents\u2019 separation, which occurred after her mother\ncriticised the corruption in her husband\u2019s administration. At the age of\n19, Keiko Fujimori accompanied her father to the first Summit of the\nAmericas hosted by US President Bill Clinton. She also served as a\nPeruvian congresswoman in 2006 and became the first woman in Peru to\nreach the presidential runoff in 2011, though she lost that election.\nShe ran again in 2016 and 2021, both of which also ended in defeat. Now,\nPeru\u2019s National Office of Electoral Processes has released the final\nvote count showing Fujimori\u2019s party, Popular Force, ahead of left-wing\ncandidate Roberto S\u00e1nchez of the Together for Peru party. The margin of\nvictory was just 49,641 votes out of approximately 18 million cast.\nFujimori secured 50.13% of valid votes compared to S\u00e1nchez\u2019s 49.86%.\nFujimori will be inaugurated as president on 28 July and is expected to\nserve a five-year term alongside Luis Fernando Galarreta as first vice\npresident and Miguel \u00c1ngel Torres Morales as second vice president. She\ntakes over Peru after a prolonged period of political instability often\nlinked to her father\u2019s presidency, who was ousted in 2000 and later\nconvicted on charges of corruption, embezzlement, and human rights\nviolations, and whose legacy remains deeply divisive following a\ncontroversial pardon in 2023. Fujimori faces the difficult task of\nuniting polarised citizens with a fragmented Congress prone to ousting\npresidents. The country also confronts vast economic inequality between\nthe capital, Lima, and rural areas, where major protests and clashes\nwith security forces have killed more than 60 people following\nCastillo\u2019s removal from office. These regions are also the support base\nfor S\u00e1nchez and his Together for Peru party, which holds the\nsecond-largest bloc in Congress, while Fujimori\u2019s party holds the most\nseats.<\/p>",
