Overview
- Following Sunday’s failures to install 211 polling tables in Lima, the National Jury of Elections extended voting to Monday so affected stations can open and citizens who lacked materials can vote.
- Asociación Civil Transparencia urged the JNE and ONPE to hold off on releasing results until voting ends at 6 p.m. Monday, saying partial data could influence those still waiting to cast ballots.
- A Datum exit poll projected Fuerza Popular leading the new Senate with about 22 seats and showed its presidential candidate first in flash figures, though official counts remain pending.
- Fuerza Popular backed the voting extension and its vice‑presidential candidate pressed ONPE chief Piero Corvetto to step aside after more than 63,000 people were unable to vote due to missing materials.
- In Piura, prosecutors opened a probe into the shooting death of pediatric gastroenterologist Minosska Pinto Lazo, with police ruling out robbery or extortion in initial findings and summoning her ex‑partner as they examine motive.
