LIMA, June 8 (Reuters) – Leftist Roberto Sanchez took the lead in Peru’s presidential race on Monday with 50.01% compared to Keiko Fujimori’s 49.9% with 93.92% of ballots tallied according to the official count.
Fujimori had an early lead after voting concluded on Sunday but Sanchez kept closing the gap as the count went on, boosted by votes from Peru’s rural regions.
