Fujimori Wins Peru’s Presidency | Roanoke News

Keiko Fujimori has narrowly won Peru’s presidential runoff, securing just over 50% of the vote in her fourth bid—and will become the country’s ninth president in a decade. Her victory mirrors a regional shift toward conservative leaders like Colombia’s Abelardo de la Espriella and Chile’s José Antonio Kast. Voters were driven by fears of rising crime, especially gang extortion, and Fujimori promised a hardline response: new prisons, militarized borders, and deportations. As daughter of ex-president Alberto Fujimori—known for anti-rebel tactics but later convicted of human rights abuses and corruption—she’s stepping into a politically charged role, pledging a transition focused on listening and preparing for a government built on tough security measures, including prison models inspired by El Salvador.
