"Keiko Fujimori, the conservative politician and daughter of the former president, was declared the winner Friday of Peru's presidential runoff election.
Fujimori, 51, will take office later this month as Peru's ninth president in 10 years. This was her fourth bid for the position following years of political instability in the country.
Peru's top election authority certified the results Friday. Fujimori received 9,223,000 votes, or 50.14% of the total, while nationalist Congressman Roberto Sánchez earned over 9,173,000 votes, or 49.87%, The Associated Press reported." msn
