Peru swears in Keiko Fujimori as president after razor-thin election victory
Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as Peru's president on July 28, 2026, after winning the election by just 50,000 votes over left-wing rival Roberto Sanchez. According to France 24, Fujimori is Peru's ninth chief executive in ten years, reflecting the country's severe political instability. The conservative leader has begun naming her cabinet and rolling out measures focused on fighting crime, as Peru faces what France 24 describes as its worst security crisis.
