LIMA, May 15 (Reuters) – Leftist candidate Roberto Sanchez has secured second place in Peru’s first round presidential election on April 12 with 100% of votes counted, the official count showed on Friday, setting him up to face frontrunner Keiko Fujimori in a runoff June 7.
The month-long count has prompted allegations of fraud in the politically turbulent South American nation, notably from right-wing candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga, who was just lightly behind Sanchez for much of the counting process.
