Peru's right-wing presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori built what may be an unassailable lead on Tuesday as vote counting for the runoff election entered its final stages, official figures showed. With 99.86 percent of ballots tallied, Fujimori held 50.12 percent of vote, a margin of just over 43,000 over her leftist rival Roberto Sanchez, according to data published online by the National Office of Electoral Processes.
