Peruvians await results of elections for ninth president in a decade
The presidential election in Peru to determine the 9th head of state in a decade is too close to call.
Right-wing candidate, Keiko Fujimori ran on promises to be tough on crime and is the daughter of the late, former president and authoritarian figure Alberto Fujimori who was convicted of human rights abuses.
Left-wing candidate Roberto Sanchez, an ally of jailed former president Pedro Castillo, has vowed to address the socioeconomic divide between those living in cities and rural areas.
The winner will likely be declared in some days after a full count is completed.
