Keiko Fujimori Sworn In As Peru's First Female President

Keiko Fujimori has been sworn in as Peru's first female president, marking a historic moment in the country's political history and a return to the presidential palace 26 years after her father, former President Alberto Fujimori.

Her narrow election victory reflects a deeply divided nation. Supporters credit the Fujimori era with restoring economic stability and improving security, while critics continue to demand accountability for alleged human rights abuses committed during her father's presidency.

As she begins her term, Keiko Fujimori faces major challenges, including political polarisation, economic uncertainty, public expectations on crime and inflation, and the environmental impact of the El Niño phenomenon on Peru's fishing industry.
