Overview
- Provisional ONPE counts show Keiko Fujimori holding a consolidated lead of about 41,565 votes, but the Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE) must still issue the official proclamation to confirm the winner.
- Fujimori said any humanitarian pardon requests for ex‑presidents Alejandro Toledo or Pedro Castillo would be reviewed individually by a commission of specialists removed from party interests and that there would be "neither persecution nor privileges."
- She identified public security and preparation for the possible arrival of the El Niño weather phenomenon as urgent priorities and said she will assemble a team to address those problems once the electoral result is certified.
- Former candidate Marisol Pérez Tello said she will defend the official results regardless of who wins and urged Fujimori to build bridges with opponents and to commit to clear investigations into killings in the south and alleged shielding of Dina Boluarte.
- Peru's polarized recent politics and pending JNE casework have prolonged uncertainty, which Fujimori and others say is delaying government planning and appointments and could hamper responses to crime and climate threats that affect everyday life.
