Peru runoff confirmed between Keiko Fujimori and still undetermined candidate

2 sources · 18 Apr 2026

Peru's presidential election remains undecided five days after vote counting began. Keiko Fujimori secured a runoff spot with 17% of votes, but Roberto Sánchez (12%) and Rafael Aliaga (11.9%) are competing for the second spot separated by fewer than 3,000 votes.

Peru has experienced a period of great political turbulence, having nine presidents in just ten years, marked by resignations and impeachments. Pedro Castillo, former president and political ally of Roberto Sánchez, was deposed and imprisoned for alleged attempted coup when he tried to dissolve Parliament.
