As Peru approaches its presidential runoff on June 7, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori leads leftist contender Roberto Sanchez in recent polls. The Ipsos poll indicates Fujimori at 38% and Sanchez at 35%, with a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points. Fujimori's support has dipped slightly, while Sanchez's figures have remained stable. Notably, 27% of respondents indicated they would not support either candidate or would spoil their ballots, raising questions about the influence of undecided voters on the election outcome. Alfredo Torres, CEO of Ipsos, emphasized that the decision-making of these voters could determine the presidency for the term of 2026-2031. Another poll from Datum Internacional shows Fujimori at 39.8% and Sanchez at 35.9%. Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, previously secured 17% of votes in the first round, while Sanchez, allied with jailed former President Pedro Castillo, advanced with 12%. Both candidates are set to engage in a debate later today.
