LIMA, Peru (AP) – The Latest on Peru’s presidential election (all times local):

18:50

Quick counts of ballots predict a razor-thin result in Peru’s presidential election with a former World Bank economist apparently enjoying a slight edge over the daughter of imprisoned ex-President Alberto Fujimori.

Local pollster Ipsos-Apoyo says Pedro Pablo Kuczynski would get about 50.5 percent of the votes cast Sunday, compared with 49.5 percent for his rival Keiko Fujimori. Another quick count by GfK showed Kuczysnki winning by a slightly larger margin.

But both results are within the polls’ margins for error of plus or minus 1 percentage point, meaning it is still too close to call.
