Overview
- Peru’s electoral body shows Keiko Fujimori ahead by about 50.11%–50.12% with roughly 99.8% of ballots tallied and a lead that appears larger than the remaining disputed votes.
- Roberto Sánchez on June 23 said he will not recognise a Fujimori government and filed petitions to annul overseas results which he says were processed improperly.
- More than 307,000 votes were cast abroad and roughly 65% of those favoured Fujimori, making consular procedures the decisive and disputed element of the count.
- The Foreign Affairs Ministry and ONPE say a change in consular processing was authorised because of problems with a scanning app and they deny evidence of fraud.
- With final reviews continuing and official certification expected in mid‑July, the dispute raises a clear risk of mass protests, a protracted transition, and further strain on Peru’s fragile institutions.
