Race tied between left- and right-wing rivals in Peru’s presidential vote

In Peru, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori and leftist congressman Roberto Sanchez are neck and neck in the presidential vote count. With over 92% of polling centers reporting, Fujimori holds a slight lead of less than one percentage point (50.2% vs 49.8%). The gap is expected to narrow as rural votes, where Sanchez dominates, are tallied. The result underscores deep political polarization in the country.
