Peru's Sánchez concedes presidency to Fujimori, clearing the way for a smoother transition
So what? A clean concession rather than a contested transition removes the likeliest source of disruption to Peru's counter-narcotics and border cooperation heading into the July 28 inauguration. The remaining risk shifts from the transition itself to whether Fujimori's government revisits any of Sánchez's positions once in office.
