Kiko Fujimori will be sworn in as Peru’s president today, becoming the latest in a string of conservative leaders elected across Latin America by voters frustrated by crime, weak economic growth, and political instability. The daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori will be Peru’s 10th president since 2016, since which no leader has completed a full five-year term.

Fujimori has expressed interest in greater cooperation with the United States and potentially joining the “Shield of the Americas,” a regional initiative proposed by President Trump to combat transnational crime. Her election further extends a rightward shift across Latin America, as well as a trend of recently elected leaders advocating tougher policies on crime and closer ties with the United States. Fujimori’s party holds the plurality in the Senate, Peru’s upper house, and is in a majority coalition. The lower legislative body, however, is under opposition control, making the maintenance of legislative support potentially challenging.
