Keiko Fujimori has been sworn in as Peru’s new president after narrowly winning June’s presidential run-off, ending years of political instability that have seen the country cycle through multiple leaders. Fujimori, leader of the conservative Fuerza Popular party, campaigned on restoring law and order amid rising violent crime, promising tougher policing, stronger border controls, and major prison reforms. Supporters hope her administration will bring stability and improve public security, while critics fear some proposed measures could weaken civil liberties. Her election also revives the legacy of her father, former president Alberto Fujimori, whose government is remembered both for defeating the Shining Path insurgency and for later convictions related to corruption and human rights abuses. As Peru’s ninth president in a decade, Fujimori faces the challenge of uniting a deeply divided nation, strengthening democratic institutions, tackling organised crime, and rebuilding public confidence in government. Many Peruvians will be watching closely to see whether her presidency delivers lasting stability while respecting the rule of law and democratic freedoms.
