Fujimori, Sanchez Officially Declared Peru’s Runoff Candidates
The electoral authorities confirmed a June 7 runoff between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez after the first round, with Fujimori receiving about 2.8 million votes (17.19%) and Sánchez about 2.015 million (12.03%). Reports from France 24 and NPR corroborate the runoff date and vote tallies, while Al Jazeera notes the runoff followed a chaotic first round. PBS NewsHour and Bloomberg likewise affirm the final turnout and that none of the candidates won a majority. Some coverage mentions controversy around Sánchez’s candidacy and earlier fraud allegations, attributed by France 24 to prosecutors and by Rafael López Aliga. Overall, authorities’ confirmation of the runoff date and participant names is consistent across sources.
