Sánchez denounces 'ongoing fraud' in Peru elections; will not recognize Fujimori
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez denounced on Tuesday, without providing evidence, that there is 'an ongoing fraud' and announced that he will not recognize his rival Keiko Fujimori as president of the country, who currently leads him in the vote count of the presidential runoff in Peru. In a press conference, Sánchez argued that his request to annul the voting abroad is based on the belief that electoral regulations were violated by changing the rules for the second round and the protection of votes until their arrival in Lima, which he claims would reverse the results and make him the winner, as he has received the most votes in the national territory. With 99.71% of the votes counted, Fujimori has 50.11% of valid votes compared to Sánchez's 49.88%, with a difference of 40,468 votes between them; however, the percentages flip when excluding overseas votes, allowing Sánchez to achieve 50.11% of valid votes with 40,925 more votes than Fujimori, who has 49.88%.
