Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has won the majority of votes with all ballots counted in Peru's photo-finish presidential election, officials said The electoral commission said he received 50.12% of votes, against 49.88% for his rival, Keiko Fujimori. About 50,000 ballots must first be settled by an electoral court before a winner can be officially declared. 
But the gap between them was so small that an electoral court must settle the matter of the 0.2 percent of ballots that have been challenged for smudges, improper markings or other issues before a winner can be declared. 
Fujimori has yet to concede, but Kuczynski tweeted his thanks to the Peruvian people. 
Peru, a nation of 31 million people, is one of Latin America's fastest-growing economies, and both candidates are right-leaning, market-friendly, US-educated politicians. 
Famed for its ancient Incan cities high in the Andes mountains and its fusion-fueled cuisine, symbolized by the refreshing raw fish dish ceviche, the country is a major exporter of gold, copper and cocaine.
