Keiko Fujimori was officially sworn in as the ninth president of Peru in a decade during a ceremony held in Lima on Tuesday. The 51-year-old conservative secured the presidency following a narrow victory in the June runoff election, where she defeated her opponent by a margin of fewer than 50,000 votes. Fujimori is set to serve a term that extends until 2031.

Fujimori enters office during a period of intense political instability in Peru. Her inauguration marks a significant moment for the country, which has struggled with frequent leadership changes; only three of the nation's previous presidents have completed their full terms over the last ten years. As the daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, who is currently imprisoned for human rights abuses, her presidency is expected to be closely watched both domestically and internationally. Her stated goal is to bring stability to the country’s turbulent political environment, though she inherits a deeply divided electorate and a history of institutional volatility.
