Apparent Peruvian election winner Keiko Fujimori on Wednesday said her victory was all but "irreversible" while acknowledging her country's political splinters. The conservative presidential candidate is poised to win the tightly fought leadership contest after she consolidated an unassailable lead over her leftist rival Roberto Sanchez late Tuesday. Sanchez said he would not recognise a government headed by Fujimori, claiming a "serious violation of the electoral process".
