Key Facts
—The lead. Keiko Fujimori holds a near-unbeatable lead in the official count, on course to win the presidency on her fourth attempt after three earlier defeats.
—The margin. With about 99.9% of tally sheets counted, she leads by roughly 41,800 votes, or 50.11% to 49.89%.
—The decider. Votes from Peruvians living abroad broke heavily her way, by close to 79,000, tipping a contest split between coast and countryside.
—The holdout. Her rival, Roberto Sánchez, refuses to accept the count, alleges fraud, and has called supporters into the streets.
