Peruvian socialist candidate Pedro Castillo claimed victory in the presidential election on Tuesday 15 June 2021 after clinging on to a narrow lead as the lengthy vote count ended, although his right-wing rival pledged to fight the result and has yet to concede.
Castillo ended the count 44,058 votes ahead of Keiko Fujimori, who has made allegations of fraud with little proof and has tried to get some votes annulled. The result of the June 6 ballot has not been formally announced by electoral authorities, but Castillo hailed the win on Twitter.
He also updated his Twitter profile to include “President-elect of the Republic of Peru (2021-2026).”
