translated from Spanish: Fujimori demands counting of votes “to the end” after attending march in Lima

The popular force candidate for the presidency of Peru, Keiko Fujirmori, has demanded that the counting of votes by the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) and the National Election Board (JNE) be carried out “until the end.” After attending the rally of supporters of his party through the streets of the country’s capital, Fujimori held a rally in which he said that he cannot allow “all the traps that were made at the tables” of the elections to be hid, according to the newspaper “El Comercio.” In addition, the Popular Force candidate has acknowledged that she was “surprised” to see the difference between the results and the quick count that had been carried out by the ipsos consultancy.” We want votes to be counted to the end, we want the minutes that have irregularities to be analysed. Of course, when that count concludes, we hope that all Peruvians will respect the result, on the other hand and here as well,” he reiterated. In the same vein, Fujimori has asserted that he will not allow Peru “to become the Chavista Venezuela,” presided over by Nicolás Maduro, who has been “50 elections manipulating the vote.” In the same way, Fujimori has described as “very strange” that the JNE has recused itself in its initial decision to extend the deadline for submitting applications to cancel voting stations. The spokesman of The Popular Force, Miguel Torres, has indicated for his part that they will accept the electoral result “when the JNE issues the last resolution as a second instance.” “Once it is issued by the JNE, we will accept and abide by the result, whatever it may be. If the result of the JNE indicates that a communist government must assume the reins of Peru, we will have to accept, with much regret, but we will accept,” he explained. Regarding the request for Fujimori to be remanded in custody for corruption, Torres has pointed to the prosecutor’s “hatred.” “It has been shown that the prosecutor has an obsession with Keiko Fujimori. The truth is that I feel sorry because he must have a very complicated life, full of hatred, and I hope that God will help him, “he said in an interview with ‘Peru21’. For the moment, with 99.925 percent of the votes validated, the count of Castillo as the winner — with 50.141 percent — ahead of Fujimori — with 49.859 percent–. However, there are still pending requests for nullity of tables and minutes observed in the Special Electoral Juries of the JNE
