Campaigns have intensified institutional pressure amid the prolonged count. Sánchez's team proposed a total recount of votes with international observer oversight, but Keiko rejected the suggestion on Saturday. Pedro Castillo's allies criticize the pace of counting and demand greater transparency in consolidating votes from the interior, while Keiko's team claims final records indicate a trend toward consolidating her advantage. ✓
