LIMA, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Peru's Pedro Pablo Kuczynski will install a government of national unity in order to bring parties together, should his victory in Sunday's presidential elections be confirmed, said Martin Vizcarra, the vice presidential candidate from Kuczynski's Alliance for Change (PPK) party, on Monday.
According to Peru's electoral authority, with 92.6 percent of the votes counted, Kuczynski had a very slim lead, maintaining 50.32 percent of votes over Keiko Fujimori's 49.68 percent.
If this trend is confirmed, Vizcarra said, Kuczynski would seek to bring together all of Peru's political forces to reach a broad understanding.
"We have the obligation of taking Peru forward. It is very important for us to see agreement between the capital and all of Peru's regions," said the potential vice president at a press conference.
He added that one of the priorities of a Kuczynski administration would be to bring various political organizations into government in return for their support in barring Fujimori from power.
Finally, Vizcarra thanked all those who had supported Kuczynski and allowed him to overturn Fujimori's commanding lead in the first round.
As of Monday afternoon, both candidates were awaiting the final result from Peru's National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE). As of 4:00pm, 92.6 percent of votes had been counted, with only the ballots from certain rural zones and from Peruvians abroad still to be counted.
