very close!
84,000 votes in it atm but Fujimori closing on international votes.
there are some 300,000 contested votes that will need validation and counting over the next week and they say these will most likely determine the result.
i do take comfort from this statement though even if Castillo wins
Azhar Hussain, Head of Global Credit at Royal London Asset Management, said that market fears about Castillo were potentially over-inflated.“The (market) reaction to Peru is pretty muted,” he said. “For a start maybe we got trapped in the narrative that it was a binary choice... Maybe from a political point of view it is, but from a real economic perspective it doesn’t seem to be.”
