REUTERS/Sebastian CastanedaLIMA, June 16 - Peru's electoral board said on Thursday it was working at top speed to check contested votes from the June 6 presidential election to be able to "promptly" declare the final results and end swirling tension and uncertainty.
In the 2011 and 2016 elections, contests in which Fujimori also ran and lost, the official announcement of the winner took until the end of June, with fewer contested votes. Reaching out to more centrist political parties "would bode well for the narrative of moderation, opening the door to a scenario of orderly regime change," the note added.
