Keiko Fujimori is sworn in as Peru’s president following a narrow victory in the June runoff election, according to reporting from The Hindu and ABC News. The inauguration follows a competitive presidential race decided by a slim margin, leading to a change in leadership through a popular vote process rather than an uncontested transfer of power. One source notes that, over the past decade, only three of Peru’s presidents have been elected by popular vote, highlighting the country’s recent pattern of leadership changes not always determined solely through direct elections. Fujimori’s inauguration takes place after the June runoff, which settled the presidential contest after the earlier round of voting required a second election. With the swearing-in completed, she begins her term as president amid scrutiny typical of closely decided electoral outcomes. Both outlets frame the inauguration as the next step after the runoff result, without detailing additional policy promises or controversies beyond the election’s narrow outcome and the presidential inauguration itself.
