Peru joins Venezuela in having far left leadership.
A candidate dubbed “the most radical leftist candidate to win a Latin American election in recent years,” will be taking power in Peru, according to the results of the country’s June 6 election.
Socialist Party candidate Pedro Castillo appears to have won, although conservative Keiko Fujimori has alleged that the election was tainted by fraud and vowed to keep battling, according to Reuters.
Castillo has 50.14 percent of the vote with 99.935 percent of ballots tallied.
“The people have already chosen their path,” Castillo said Saturday as socialists cheered their apparent victory.
In an Op-Ed in the Miami Herald, Andres Oppenheimer, who said he had read Castillo’s Spanish-language election platform, wrote that it “looks like it was lifted from the Russian Revolution in 1917.”
