Former Peruvian President Francisco Sagasti has asserted that neither Keiko Fujimori nor Roberto Sánchez enjoys widespread popular support. According to Sagasti, approximately 90% of Peruvian voters did not select either candidate as their first choice in the recent election. This suggests a limited and “precarious” base of support should either assume the presidency. Sagasti indicated that a government formed by either candidate would lack the backing of a significant majority of the population. He made these comments during a Saturday interview, highlighting concerns about the legitimacy of a potential new administration. The statement underscores the deeply divided political landscape in Peru following a closely contested election. Sagasti’s remarks serve as a caution regarding the challenges a new leader may face in governing effectively.
