Although the official proclamation has not yet been finalized, Keiko Fujimori has already begun to act as the next president of Peru. With a lead that electoral authorities consider practically irreversible over Roberto Sánchez, the candidate from Fuerza Popular announced that she is working on forming a broad-based cabinet, a signal intended to convey stability and build consensus in a country deeply polarized after the presidential runoff.
In her first statements after consolidating her electoral lead, Fujimori stated that her priority will be to form a government team made up of professionals with experience and management capacity, regardless of their party affiliation. As she explained, the goal is to build an administration capable of responding to the economic and social challenges facing the country.
The future president asserted that Peru needs a phase of political reconciliation after a campaign marked by strong ideological confrontations and mutual accusations. In this regard, she assured that she will seek to incorporate figures from various democratic sectors into the government who share a commitment to institutional stability and economic growth.
These statements contrast with the stance taken by her rival Roberto Sánchez, who continues to denounce an alleged electoral fraud and refuses to acknowledge the results.
