Diego Pary, Bolivia's Ambassador at the United Nations, called Thursday on social media to respect the people's vote in the runoff in Peru, where candidates Pedro Castillo and Keiko Fujimori competed for the presidency.

"The Electoral Organization is the only one that can reveal the official results of the June 6 election, and we think that Fujimori must comply with the people's will,'" the diplomat told local media Bolivia TV.

Pary said from the seat of the United Nations that the tally is almost final, showing Castillo from the Peru Libre party as the unequivocal winner.
