Elections in Peru: Keiko Fujimori leads over Sánchez in a new turnaround in the counting of votes

The election in Peru enters the fourth day of counting
Keiko Fujimori once again took the lead in the counting of votes in the second round of Peru's presidential elections this Thursday (11).
After three days behind Roberto Sánchez, the conservative candidate has the highest number of votes: 50.002% against 49.998% for the left-wing deputy.
The candidates Roberto Sánchez, from Juntos pelo Peru, and Keiko Fujimori, from Força Popular, compete vote by vote in the presidential election in Peru. Voting took place on Sunday (7) and the result should remain undefined until the end.
At 6am this Wednesday, the difference between the two was around 20 thousand votes. In the early afternoon, around 1:30 pm, there were just over 4 thousand.
Fujimori's turnaround is due to his preference among Peruvians abroad: 63% against Sánchez's 37%. Previously, only 67% of the ballot boxes abroad had been opened and counted, now there are 83%.
In Peru, 98.20% of the ballot boxes have already been counted.

History and electoral context
The elections of 2026 saw a record 35 presidential candidates in the first round. The process takes place in a scenario in which Peru has registered 9 presidents in 10 years, with constitutional mandates lasting five years.
Survey data indicates that 90% of Peruvians express little or no confidence in the government and the National Congress.
In addition, only 10% of Peruvians claim to be satisfied with democracy in the country, a situation that researchers classify as "chronic distrust".
