		</div><p>The daughter of imprisoned ex-president Alberto Fujimori has conceded defeat to conservative economist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, ending five days of suspense in which ballots trickled in from Peru&#8217;s closest presidential election in decades.</p>
<p>In a short statement, Keiko Fujimori wished Mr Kuczynski good luck and vowed to lead a responsible opposition in congress, where her party controls 73 of 130 seats.</p>
<p>But she also had harsh words for politicians, business leaders and members of the media whom she accused of a &#8220;hate-filled&#8221; campaign to discredit her candidacy, which many Peruvians feared would revive the corruption and criminality of her father&#8217;s authoritarian rule in the 1990s.</p>
<p>&#8220;The country has witnessed a campaign that promoted clashes between Peruvians, that sought and managed to awaken hatred and fanaticism,&#8221; she said while surrounded by MPs from her Popular Force party.</p>
<p>Ms Fujimori was favoured to win the presidential run-off after topping a crowded field of candidates in the first round by almost 20 points.</p>
<p>But she hobbled to the finish line after Mr Kuczynski accused her of being a harbinger of a &#8220;narco state&#8221; when it was revealed that the secretary-general of her party was being investigated by the US Drug Enforcement Administration for money laundering.</p>
<p>Mr Kuczysnki, whose fledgling party has just 18 seats in congress, extended an olive branch to Ms Fujimori in his first interview since being declared winner, saying that he would sign a bill giving older inmates like her father the right to house arrest if MPs pass one.</p>
<p>Alberto Fujimori is serving 25 years for corruption and supporting death squads during his authoritarian rule in the 1990s.</p>
<p>Authorities said on Thursday that Mr Kuczynski won 50.1% of the vote, defeating Ms Fujimori by around 40,000 votes. It was Peru&#8217;s closest presidential election since the 1960s.</p>
