Peru’s elections authority announced that Pedro Pablo Kuczynski had defeated Keiko Fujimori in the 2016 presidential election. National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) director Mariano Cucho announced that his organization had tallied all of the more than 18 million votes cast on June 5. Kuczynski garnered 50.1% of eligible votes to defeat Fujimori. Known as “PPK” in Peru, Kuczynski won by just over 41,000 votes for a victory margin of less than a quarter point, which makes the 2016 election the closest in Peru’s history. It was also the second consecutive defeat for Keiko Fujimori, who lost to President Ollanta Humala in 2011.

Kuczynski’s victory marks the end of what had been an uneventful second round up until the last two weeks. Most of the drama over Peru’s next government came in the first round. In March Julio Guzman and Cesar Acuña, two top-five candidates at the time, were disqualified for procedural violations and vote-buying, respectively.

The money laundering and corruption allegations combined with a grassroots anti-Fujimori sentiment to propel Kuczynski at just the right moment to defeat Fujimori by the slimmest margin in Peru’s history.
