The official results of the presidential election in Peru are long overdue. And stir up tensions. Populist right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori thus denounced, Monday, June 7, “signs of fraud” in the ballot for which her left-wing rival Pedro Castillo was credited with a slight advance.

There is “a series of irregularities,” she said during a press conference. According to 94.8% of the ballots counted, she was ahead of Mr. Castillo by less than a percentage point.
