Peru's runoff: a pro-US conservative, or a leftist for the poor?
Peru's presidential runoff between right-wing Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sanchez — for the ninth president in a decade — went down to the wire. With about 95% of ballots counted, Sanchez has edged ahead of Fujimori, though the overseas vote is still to come and the result is not yet final.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
The right frames Fujimori as the pro-US, pro-business hand needed to restore order and growth, and a bulwark against a return of the radical left.
The left casts Sanchez as the choice for ordinary Peruvians against a discredited establishment and the legacy of Fujimorismo, in a country exhausted by elite instability.
