Leftwing candidate Pedro Castillo of the Peru Libre party was leading conservative Keiko Fujimori of Fuerza Popular by 50.253% against 49.747% with 99.282% of the votes counted, according to the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) by Wednesday dawn. However, Castillo already addressed his supporters from the balcony of his party s headquarters in Lima and declared himself the winner, ahead of the official count.
