The second round of Peru’s presidential elections is decided vote by vote. With 93.94% counted, the leftist, 57 years old, has come to the front in the official ONPE count with 50.01% of the votes, 4,300 more than the rightist, 51 years old. Fujimori, who until now was leading the result thanks to the votes from the capital, Lima, has lost ground tenth by tenth as the records from rural areas favorable to the left reach the electoral authority. All attention is now focused on the external vote, historically aligned with the right and whose counting has not yet begun.
