Race tied between left- and right-wing rivals in Peru’s presidential vote | Elections News
In Peru's presidential election, leftist congressman Roberto Sanchez and right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori are in a tight race with nearly 94% of votes counted. Sanchez edged ahead of Fujimori, who had held a slim lead earlier in the day, with fewer than 4,300 votes separating them. Political analysts suggest the result reflects deep political polarization in the South American country. The two candidates are vying to become Peru's ninth leader in a decade following a series of forced resignations and impeachments.
