Overview
- The National Office of Electoral Processes completed its final tabulation on June 29, showing Keiko Fujimori ahead by roughly 50.1% to 49.9%, a lead of about 49,000 votes.
- Peru’s National Jury of Elections holds the formal power to proclaim the winner and is scheduled to rule on the result on July 3.
- Roberto Sánchez has rejected the ONPE tally, led street protests and said he will pursue legal challenges over overseas and consular ballots while some outlets published a disputed report that he made a partial concession.
- Fujimori is due to be inaugurated on July 28 and her Fuerza Popular bloc won 22 of 60 congressional seats, giving her the largest single group in a fragmented Congress but no outright majority.
- Overseas and consular votes, which favored Fujimori, are central to the complaints yet international observers report no evidence of widespread fraud, and investors have closely watched the count for signs of policy continuity on crime, mining and central bank independence.
