Sanchez will not recognize Fujimori’s victory in Peru election

Peruvian presidential candidate Roberto Sanchez has declared the recent run-off election “fraudulent,” rejecting results that show his opponent Keiko Fujimori with a slight lead. Sanchez, who garnered 49.89% of the votes compared to Fujimori’s 50.11%, has called for protests and refuses to recognize a Fujimori presidency, alleging manipulation of overseas votes. He criticized changes to voting procedures at consular offices as compromising electoral integrity and plans to challenge the legitimacy of the election results.
