Keiko Fujimori is a conservative Peruvian politician and the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, the late right-wing strongman who governed Peru in the 1990s. She narrowly lost the last three presidential run-offs.
In the April 12th 2026 general election she won enough votes to secure a place in the run-off scheduled for June 7th. Her supporters want a tough leader to tackle crime. She will face either Roberto Sánchez, a leftist, or Rafael López Aliaga, an ultraconservative, once the final count is completed.
While most peoples' opinions change, the conviction of their correctness never does.
