Overview
- The ONPE provisional tally with roughly 93–94% of actas processed shows a razor‑thin gap of about 2,942 votes between Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, leaving the race effectively tied.
- The Jurado Nacional de Elecciones has ordered mandatory recounters of observed or impugned actas and warned the legal process could take as long as 30 days before an official proclamation.
- Both campaigns have deployed large networks of personeros to conduct parallel verifications and to document reported incidents such as marked ballots and access problems at polling sites.
- Financial markets reacted to the uncertainty with falls in the Lima stock exchange and a weaker sol as investors weigh the risk of policy shifts and questions about central bank continuity.
- Security and logistics issues are complicating the count, as the Comando Unificado Pataz reported arrests and large weapons seizures in La Libertad and remote and overseas actas continue to be transported and reviewed.
