Post-elections: Presidential and legislative elections in Peru

Peru held general elections this Sunday to elect the Presidency, a renewed bicameral Congress, and representatives to the Andean Parliament. With 54.32% of ballots counted, Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular) leads with 16.96% of the vote, followed by Rafael López Aliaga (Renovación Popular) with 14.53%, and Jorge Nieto Montesinos (Partido del Buen Gobierno) with 12.82%. As no candidate surpassed the 50% threshold required to win outright, the country is heading towards a runoff scheduled for 7 June.

At the legislative level, preliminary results point to a less fragmented Congress for the 2026–2031 term, with five political forces securing representation. Fuerza Popular emerges as the dominant bloc in both chambers, though without an outright majority—making negotiation a necessary condition for governance.
