After a lengthy counting process, Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez have emerged as the two candidates for the second round of Peru's presidential elections on June 7, with Fujimori leading at over 17% of the vote and Sánchez at 12%, while conservative Rafael López Aliaga narrowly missed the runoff with 11.9%. #PeruElections #PoliticalCandidates #GovernanceChallenges #PE
