On the eve of the presidential election in Peru, Keiko Fujimori is leading in the polls with approximately 15%, in a race marked by a record number of candidates. The right-wing candidate, who has run several times before, has focused her campaign on security and the fight against crime.
She pledged to expel undocumented migrants and to mobilize the army to regain control of the prisons. She also proposed reforming the judicial system, specifically mentioning the reinstatement of controversial measures used during her father's presidency.
Keiko Fujimori also expressed her desire to strengthen economic ties with Washington, in a context of increased rivalry between the United States and China in Latin America. She hopes to attract more American investment while encouraging greater involvement from Western partners.
The election takes place amid significant political instability, as the country has experienced several presidential changes in recent years. Several candidates remain neck and neck behind the frontrunner, while voters must also elect a new Parliament as part of the return to a bicameral system.
