Bottom Line Up Front
Today’s verdict: Peru formally proclaims Keiko Fujimori president-elect today, its first elected woman leader, as the World Cup’s Round of 32 closes tonight with Argentina and Colombia in action and Colombia’s cabinet gains a third minister.
Peru’s proclamation. The electoral board proclaims Keiko Fujimori president-elect today, formally confirming her narrow win. Nothing changes for residents before the July 28 handover.
Argentina and Colombia close the group round. Both play their final Round-of-32 ties tonight, the last regional matches before the last 16. Winners advance to Tuesday’s knockouts.
Colombia’s cabinet grows. President-elect De la Espriella has now named a third minister, and the incoming team asked the outgoing government to shelve a planned tax reform. Nothing changes before the August 7 inauguration.
