2 sources · 14 Apr 2026 · Share coverage ·

Peru's presidential elections concluded on Monday after technical delays that forced the government to extend voting hours. Keiko Fujimori leads the vote count, followed by Rafael López Aliaga, but the scenario for the runoff remains undefined.

Peru is experiencing an unprecedented political crisis, with nine different people holding the presidency in the last ten years. This is the first general election since 2021, when Pedro Castillo won the runoff but was later removed from office.
