Impeachments, arrests and corruption scandals prevented any elected leader from completing a full five-year term over the past decade. Fujimori’s win was among the closest presidential races in Peru’s modern history, decided by a razor-thin margin of roughly 50,000 votes. Her candidacy has drawn protests from left-wing activists and civil society groups, with even more demonstrations planned during her inauguration. Many analysts and political observers worry that she may follow in her father’s footsteps and rule with brute force, Tegel reported.
