Overview
- Partial results published Wednesday with more than 90% counted put Keiko Fujimori near 17% and Roberto Sanchez narrowly ahead of Rafael Lopez Aliaga for second place.
- The first round stretched into Monday after ballot materials arrived late, forcing more than 50,000 people who were turned away Sunday to vote a day later and face more delays.
- The National Jury of Elections filed complaints against election office chief Piero Corvetto and other officials for obstructing the vote, and one official was arrested as investigators probed a subcontractor.
- Rafael Lopez Aliaga rejected the count, rallied supporters in Lima, and demanded annulment and new elections, while EU monitors reported serious dysfunctions but no objective evidence of fraud so far.
- Results shifted as rural southern precincts reported after Lima, boosting Sanchez late in the count, and a June 7 runoff would precede a July 28 inauguration if current standings hold.
