First Trump, then Netanyahu, now it's Keiko Fujimori

In case you were thinking the next rieichwing autocrat running for national leader to claim voter fraud in their loss would be Bolsonaro in the next election in Brazil, you'd be wrong; perennial Peruvian presidential candidate and three-time loser, Keiko Fujimori the horrid offspring of convicted criminal Alberto Fujimori (former President of Peru) is now claiming, without any proof whatsoever that her opponent, Pedro Castillo is stealing the election from her.

“It’s extremely regrettable that when the result is not favourable, that the candidate talks about fraud. It’s terrible,” Fernando Tuesta, a political science professor at Lima’s Pontifical Catholic University, told national radio broadcaster RPP on Monday night. “They have been talking about fraud because they don’t want to respect the result,” he said.


There will be a recount of the votes, as the election will be close. Then, maybe, Keiko Fujimori will bring in the ninja group to count ballots, trying to prove that some were bamboo ballots and others were shredded, fed to chickens and then the chickens incinerated because... that's what they'd do in a 1960's Batman TV episode or something
