    LIMA, April 11 (Xinhua) -- The daughter and brother of Peru's former president Alberto Fujimori on Tuesday advanced steadily to their seats in the congress, according to initial results for Sunday's general elections in Peru.

    According to the National Electoral Process Office, the 30-year-old Keiko Fujimori has garnered the most votes for the congressional candidates. Keiko had acted as Fujimori's first lady from 1992 to 2000, after the separation of her parents.

    Meanwhile, early results indicated that the youngest brother of the former president, Santiago Fujimori, 59, would also have possibility to get a seat in the congress.

    Keiko has said that the support is due to the Peruvian people's support of her father.

    "This triumph is not mine. It's Alberto Fujimori's," Keiko told the Chilean daily newspaper La Tercera as initial votes count shows she is winning a congress seat.

    Both of them are from the party of Alliance for the Future (AF),which was projected to get 14 or 15 of the 120 seats in Congress.

    Alberto Fujimori is detained in Chile and faces an extradition process at the petition of the Peruvian government. Enditem
