In one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Peru's electoral history, Keiko Fujimori has overtaken Roberto Sánchez in the presidential runoff, seizing a lead of just 651 votes after trailing by more than 40,000 only a day earlier.
As of the ONPE official count with about 98% of tally sheets processed, Fujimori holds 50.002% to Sánchez's 49.998% — a margin of four ten-thousandths of a point. The lead changed hands at around 1:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, after a count that had see-sawed for four days but had never before crossed from one candidate to the other.
