Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori claimed that the June 6 election where she
narrowly trails was plagued with irregularities, and accused President Francisco Sagasti of interference.
“This is an attempt by the international left to bend popular will,” Fujimori said at a press conference, adding that leftist leaders in the region are determined to declare her competitor Pedro Castillo as the winner.
She said that Sagasti, interim president since November, was interfering in the process by calling different political figures, without providing detail.
Still, Fujimori reiterated her promise to accept the results announced by the National Electoral Jury after it settles all requests for annulment of suspicious votes introduced in the past few days.
She said she plans to join her supporters in a street rally.
With 99.8% of the ballots tallied Castillo is narrowly ahead with 50.14%, followed by Fujimori with 49.85%.
