Fuerza Popular’s presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori on Monday afternoon affirmed that she would accept the runoff election results to be announced by the
National Election Board (JNE).
"I announce that, in compliance with the commitments I assumed with all Peruvians, with Mario Vargas Llosa and the international community, I am going to recognize the results because it is what the law and the constitution —which I have sworn to defend— mandate," she said at a press conference in the presence of her supporters.
Fujimori affirmed that she has made her view clear "in the face of the imminent and illegitimate proclamation of Pedro Castillo."
