Keiko Fujimori calls for unity after being proclaimed Peru's president-elect

Following her official proclamation by the National Jury of Elections (JNE) on July 3, 2026, Peru's president-elect Keiko Fujimori called for national unity.

She secured a narrow victory over leftist rival Roberto Sánchez with 50.14% of the vote and pledged a new, responsible chapter for the deeply polarized nation ahead of her July 28 swearing-in. Sánchez rejected the results and stated he would appeal to international bodies over alleged irregularities in the overseas vote count, though the electoral body officially dismissed these claims.
