Peru Election 2026

Peru held its general elections on April 12, 2026, with voting extended into April 13 in some regions due to logistical disruptions. No presidential candidate secured more than 50% of the vote, triggering a runoff on June 7 between Keiko Fujimori of the Fuerza Popular (Popular Force) party and Roberto Sánchez of Juntos por el Perú (Together for Peru). With all tally sheets counted on June 29, Fujimori was confirmed as president-elect, winning by fewer than 50,000 votes — an advantage that proved decisive largely due to strong support from Peruvians voting abroad. Sánchez has alleged irregularities in the overseas vote, but electoral authorities continue to move toward formal certification of Fujimori's victory.
