Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as President of Peru this Tuesday for the 2026-2031 term, winning the presidency on her fourth attempt but taking office with only one-third of the electorate’ support. The leader of the conservative Popular Force party (Fuerza Popular, in Spanish) took the oath of office before Congress, her hand placed on a Bible and facing a crucifix. Her advantage over Roberto Sánchez, the candidate of Together for Peru party (Juntos por el Perú, in Spanish), stood at just 49,641 ballots -less than 0.3% of the votes cast. 🇵🇪 | AHORA: Keiko Fujimori jura como Presidenta Constitucional del Perú, y se convierte en la primera mandataria mujer elegida democráticamente. pic.twitter.com/Sp4TdiZq8V — Alerta News 24 (@AlertaNews24) July 28, 2026Text reads: “Keiko Fujimori swears as the Constitutional President of Peru, and becomes the first democratically elected woman President.”
