Peruvian voters will choose their next president between a political dynasty heiress and a former trade minister who has promised to reform Peru's mining sector, after advancing on Friday to the country's June runoff election.

Keiko Fujimori, the conservative daughter of a disgraced former president, and Roberto Sanchez, a nationalist congressman, will face off to become Peru's ninth president in just 10 years. 

Both beat 33 other candidates with promises to put an end to surging crime, the top priority for Peruvians whose country's mining-driven economy has proved resilient to political instability.

With 100% of the ballots counted from the April 12 election, Fujimori, of Fuerza Popular, led the field with 17.18% of the vote. 

According to the final results published Friday by the National Office of Electoral Processes, Sanchez, of Juntos por el Peru, finished second with 12.03%, securing his place in the June 7 runoff.
