Fujimori: Accepterar beslut oavsett utgången i valet

Perus högerkandidat Keiko Fujimori, som överklagat valresultatet, kommer att acceptera valmyndighetens beslut oavsett utgången. Det säger hon i en intervju med El País.

Efter den slutgiltiga rösträkningen i valet tidigare i juni vann vänsterkandidaten Pedro Castillo med drygt 40 000 röster. Fujimori, som är dotter till tidigare premiärminister Alberto Fujimori, säger att hon inte ifrågasätter valsystemet i stort, utan hävdar felaktigheter i 800 valdistrikt.

– Vi ber juryn att ta reda på sanningen, säger hon.

Fujimori och hennes parti har dock inte lagt fram några konkreta bevis på valfusk och enligt valobservatörer finns inte heller något som tyder på detta.

bakgrund
 
Pedro Castillo
Wikipedia (en)
José Pedro Castillo Terrones (born 19 October 1969) is a Peruvian schoolteacher, union leader, politician, and Presidential candidate of Peru. He attained prominence as a leading figure in the 2017 teacher strike in Peru. Castillo ran for president in the 2021 general election as the candidate of the left-wing Free Peru party. He placed first in the initial round and advanced to the second round against Keiko Fujimori. As the votes for the second round were fully processed by the National Office of Electoral Processes, observers have noted that Castillo appears to be president-elect of Peru, though no official results have been declared by the National Jury of Elections.
