Keiko Fujimori has won Peru's presidential election by one of the narrowest margins in the country's recent history, securing the presidency with just over 49,000 votes. It is her fourth bid for the office, having previously wielded considerable influence through her Popular Force party's congressional majority. Her opponent, leftist candidate Roberto Sanchez, alleged electoral fraud over disputed ballots cast by Peruvians abroad. Fujimori, whose late father Alberto Fujimori was jailed for human rights abuses and corruption, has pledged to govern with a firm hand and restore law and order amid soaring crime rates. Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez reports from Lima, Peru.
