A political dynasty is returning to power in Peru. Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, has won the presidency on her fourth attempt. But her victory is reigniting old divisions in a country that has cycled through ten presidents in just over a decade.
Supporters say Fujimori can restore order, tackle rising crime and bring stability to Peru. Critics fear the return of a deeply polarizing political movement linked to one of the most controversial periods in the country's modern history. Is Peru joining a broader shift to the right across Latin America?
