RICARDO MOREIRA/GETTY IMAGES Castillo looks past election row that delayed naming as president-elect LIMA－Left-wing politician Pedro Castillo was proclaimed Peru's president-elect on Monday, six weeks after a polarizing vote brought claims of electoral fraud from his right-wing rival, Keiko Fujimori. With the result finally declared in his favor, the 51-year-old trade unionist's victory leaves Fujimori facing an imminent corruption trial. "On behalf of my family, I would like to salute the electoral authorities... and also to salute the political parties that have taken part in this democratic celebration," Castillo, a former rural teacher, told supporters gathered at the headquarters of his Peru Libre (Free Peru) party in Lima.
