Leftist Sanchez heads to Peru presidential runoff after month-long count

-

LIMA, ‌May 15 (Reuters) - Leftist ​candidate Roberto Sanchez has ⁠secured second place in Peru's first round ​presidential election on April ‌12 with 100% of votes counted, the official count ⁠showed on ⁠Friday, setting him up to face frontrunner Keiko Fujimori in ‌a runoff June 7.

The ⁠month-long count ‌has prompted ​allegations of fraud in the politically turbulent ‌South American nation, ​notably ⁠from right-wing candidate Rafael ‌Lopez ⁠Aliaga, who was just lightly behind Sanchez for ​much of ‌the counting process.
