Fujimori was inaugurated July 28 as Peru's tenth president in ~10 years, with the restored bicameral Congress seated and Fuerza Popular winning the Senate presidency July 26; runner-up Roberto Sanchez refuses to recognize the sub-50,000-vote result, has filed a legal challenge and called protests. An on-schedule, contested transfer: eased political stability -5 to -4.
The JNE set July 15 to deliver president-elect credentials ahead of the July 28 inauguration; defeated candidate Sanchez called inauguration-day protests on unproven fraud claims. Peru political_stability held at -5.
JNE proclaimed Keiko Fujimori president-elect July 3 after a razor recount (50.135% vs 49.865%). The contested count resolved (Peru political_stability -7 -> -5) though Sanchez rejects it as final, keeping a transition tail.
Peru's June 7 presidential runoff produced a knife-edge result, with Sanchez at 50.10% to Fujimori's 49.90% as overseas ballots favoring Fujimori remained outstanding; the first-round loser made evidence-free fraud claims and was criminally charged for inciting disorder, raising the risk of a 2021-style disputed-result crisis.
