Overview
- An exceptional re-vote, ordered late Sunday, let more than 52,000 affected citizens vote Monday at 13 sites in southern Lima and at consular locations in Orlando and Paterson.
- With about 55% of tally sheets processed, the ONPE’s provisional count put Keiko Fujimori at 16.9% and Rafael López Aliaga at 14.3%, which points to a June 7 runoff if the trend holds.
- Election officials said a transport contractor failed to deliver ballots, equipment and supplies to districts including San Juan de Miraflores, Lurín and Pachacámac, and the ONPE plans legal and criminal action against Servicios Generales Galaga, a firm previously sanctioned by the agency.
- The National Board of Justice opened a preliminary investigation into ONPE chief Piero Corvetto after the disruptions, and ONPE’s electoral manager José Edilberto Samamé was detained and resigned.
- Poll workers reported running out of printer ink and paper, which kept them processing results past 2 a.m., as voters weighed economic pain from rising prices and fuel costs when choosing the next leadership.
