Peru’s First Female President Takes Office | Perth News
Description
Keiko Fujimori has officially become Peru’s first female president, marking a historic return of her family’s political legacy after years of turbulence. Just 51, she narrowly defeated a leftist rival in a razor-thin election, inheriting a nation with ten presidents since 2016 and deep divisions. Vowing unity and healing, she’s positioning herself as a stabilizing force amid rising crime and economic woes, while signaling closer ties with the U.S. and a focus on fiscal discipline and security. Despite opposition walkouts and lingering doubts over the election’s fairness, Fujimori is poised to lead a fragmented Congress — and the challenges ahead are immense.
