Vote counting is ongoing in Peru following a presidential runoff election that has produced no immediate winner. Conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori currently leads with 52.6% of the vote, while congressman Roberto Sanchez trails at 47.4%. However, electoral authorities caution that the race remains too close to call, and final results may take several days to be confirmed. This runoff election follows a fragmented first round held on April 12, where no candidate received the necessary majority, leading to a second round between the top two contenders. Public concern over rising crime emerged as a significant issue during the campaign, with both candidates proposing various security reforms. Fujimori suggested enhanced measures, including increased technology use and a larger security presence, while Sanchez focused on police reforms and cooperation with military forces. Despite mandatory voting laws, turnout appeared lower in some areas compared to the first round, as over 27 million Peruvians were eligible to vote. As ballots continue to be counted, Peru faces a prolonged wait for clarity on its political future.
