In statements to the press, she called on her party officials to be attentive during election day and congratulated the senior citizens who decided to vote on this occasion.

"They (the elderly) are the true heroes of this day," she said in brief statements to the press.

Afterwards, she got into a vehicle from where she greeted some citizens who arrived at that venue.

The candidate also requested the electoral bodies to investigate any case of violence on Election Day.

During the morning, Fujimori and her family joined an electoral breakfast in Lima's San Juan de Lurigancho district.
