Keiko Fujimori leads Peru election

Fujimori, a dominant figure in Peruvian politics, leads a field of 35 candidates but her runoff opponent remains unclear.

The election quickly descended into confusion as many voters in Lima found that ballots had not arrived at their stations.

Authorities were forced to extend voting hours to accommodate the long lines and logistical failures.

The winner will face the daunting task of addressing Peru's persistent political instability, rising crime, and widespread corruption.
