"Com 98,21% das urnas apuradas, a conservadora Keiko Fujimori ultrapassou o candidato da esquerda Roberto Sánchez e reassumiu a liderança na disputa acirrada pela Presidência do Peru na madrugada desta quinta-feira (11)"
"Fujimori tem 50.002% dos votos enquanto Sánchez aparece com 49.998%, de acordo com a ONPE (Escritório Nacional de Processos Eleitorais) do Peru"
The turnaround is due to progress in counting overseas votes, where Fujimori leads 63% to 37% over Sánchez. Of overseas polling stations, 94.5% have been counted, while within Peru the rate reaches 98.3%. The voting took place on Sunday (7) to choose between the candidates from Popular Force and Together for Peru. ✓

"A virada de Fujimori se deve à sua preferência entre os peruanos no exterior: 63% contra 37% de Sánchez"
"Já no exterior, 94.495% foram apuradas até o momento"
The final result could still take about two weeks, according to ONPE, due to logistical difficulties in receiving votes from Peruvians abroad and remote rural areas. Disputed records with about 450,000 votes still need to be reviewed. Peru uses paper ballots and has 27.33 million eligible voters. ✓

"É necessário, ainda, revisar atas impugnadas com cerca de 450 mil votos"
"O país tem 27,33 milhões de eleitores aptos a votar"
The vote count trajectory has been marked by constant leadership changes: Fujimori started ahead on Sunday with a five percentage point advantage, but was overtaken by Sánchez on Monday (8). A quick count sample by companies Ipsos and Datum pointed to Sánchez as winner by less than one percentage point, within the 1.9% margin of error. ✓
