Nobody knows who the incoming government belongs to, but at least we do know who Congress belongs to Congressman Pedro Espadaro“We are going to work really hard.
Known in Peru by his initials PPK, the winner of an extremely tight election had been delaying his victory speech until 100% of the votes were officially accounted for, but on Thursday he finally spoke out.
The economist and former investment banker secured 8,580,474 votes compared with 8,539,036 for the daughter of ex-president Alberto Fujimori, who is currently in prison for corruption and human rights violations.
Until December, she was also the Peru representative at the Inter-American Development Bank, and negotiated the last portion of the free trade agreement with the United States, which she defended against a popular strike in 2009 to protest changes in land laws.
Four days into the vote count, Peru’s electoral office ONPE announced that Pedro Pablo Kuczynki of Peruanos por el Kambio (Peruvians for Change) is the winner with 50.12% of the vote, followed by Popular Force leader Keiko Fujimori with 49.88%.
