With more than 99.5% of votes tallied and only a handful of contested ballots to be added, Castillo had 50.2% of the vote, around 60,000 votes ahead of Fujimori who has pushed allegations of fraud, though with little proof.

Several presidents in the world are congratulating the victory of Pedro Castillo, in other words, he has solid international legitimacy, wrote Vladimir Cerron, the leader of the Free Peru party, on Twitter. Cerron, a Cuba-trained surgeon and Marxist-Leninist, is a former regional governor who could not run for president
