Peru Braces for a High-Stakes Runoff Between Fujimori and Sanchez

Peru heads to a June 7 presidential runoff between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sanchez after a chaotic first round marked by ballot delays, protests and a campaign-finance-disclosures probe against Sanchez (which he denies). Fujimori led with 17% (~2.88 million votes) to Sanchez’s 12% (~2.02 million), with Rafael López Aliaga close behind. Turnout abroad and a large share of abstentions/blank ballots could sway the result amid a decade of political upheaval and voter demand for order versus accountability.

Peru's fractured election tests voters' bid for stability

Peruvian voters head to the polls to try to escape a decade of instability, facing a record 35 presidential candidates and a long ballot as crime and corruption loom large; Keiko Fujimori leads polls but no candidate is above 15%, making a runoff likely and illustrating a crowded, volatile field that includes a comedian-turned-candidate, a hard-right former Lima mayor, and other outsiders.
