Weekly Report - 21 May 2026 (WR-26-20)

Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez will go head-to-head in a debate on 31 May, one week before the second round of presidential elections. The campaign period has been truncated as a result of the protracted vote count from the closely contested first round on 12 April. The electoral authority (Onpe) finally completed the count on 14 May with the third-placed candidate Rafael López Aliaga refusing to accept defeat. If the previous three run-off elections, all of which have featured Fujimori, are anything to go by, there is likely to be little separating her from Sánchez on 7 June.
