Center-right economist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski had a slight edge over Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of an imprisoned former president, in two quick counts by polling firms that reviewed ballots in Peru’s presidential run-off election on Sunday.
With 100 percent of sample ballots reviewed, polling firm Ipsos gave the 77-year-old Kuczynski 50.5 percent of the vote and Fujimori 49.5 percent, a technical tie.
Another pollster, GfK, gave Kuczynski 50.8 percent of valid votes to Fujimori’s 49.2 percent.
