Keiko Fujimori recognized Castillo as president

The former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori recognized this Monday at Pedro Castillo as President of Peru, after having deemed the President’s proclamation “illegitimate”.

“I recognize Mr. Pedro Castillo as President of the Republic of our country. I hope he listens to the sentiments of the great majorities and that he will have a good mandate over the next five years.Fujimori said in an interview with the station RPP.

The former candidate, daughter and political heir to former President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), also assured that in her capacity as leader of the Fuerza Popular, the most powerful opposition party in Congress, is ready to meet Castillo, who assumed the Peruvian presidency on July 28.

“I do not refuse this possibility. Whenever a President of the Republic has asked me to speak, I have always been present, “he said.

Fujimori’s statements come more than a month after the National Election Jury (JNE) proclaimed the leftist professor elected president of Peru by endorsing the results of the June 6 vote, where Castillo won 50.12% of the vote. valid, a narrow victory of only 44,263 votes ahead of Fujimori.

In reality, the official announcement of the winner of the competition lasted almost a month and a half for the battery of appeals and legal challenges by Fujimori and his allies in an attempt to overturn some 200,000 votes in areas where their rival at the polls won overwhelming support.

All these requests were rejected at first instance by the special electoral juries (JEE) and then transmitted to the JNE, which ultimately declared the appeals inadmissible.
