Peru election result close as vote counting continues

Fujimori began her election day having breakfast in the Lima suburb of San Juan de Lurigancho, the most populous district in Peru, where impoverished neighbourhoods crowd the steep, dusty mountains. She was welcomed by crowds of supporters gathering for selfies with her."She will fight crime like her father did years ago," one supporter, Alicia, said."It's about time a woman governed us, one who makes us feel valued," another, Catalina Solana Guamá, added."Previous presidents didn't remember towns like ours, our hillside where we live, the needs people have. Her father travelled around, walking through the mud and sludge here, I want her to go out, not to be an office-bound president, and to be for the people and fight like that," she said.Catalina welcomed Fujimori's pledge to use the military to tackle crime, saying she wanted her to "fight against those criminals who are killing drivers and bus conductors". "It's not right that we go out to work and don't know if we'll come back alive."Getty ImagesSupporters of Roberto Sanchez gathered in Lima on Sunday night.
