Peru’s National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) has released live results from the 2026 presidential election, showing Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez leading in the vote count with 93.484% of ballots processed.
The electoral board confirmed it is conducting a recount of at least 106 voting records, with officials estimating the full tally will be completed by mid-May. The National Electoral Jury (JNE) echoed this timeline, stating that official presidential results are expected to be finalized in May.
Observers note the extended timeline reflects standard procedures for verifying ballots amid close margins and heightened scrutiny. Both ONPE and JNE have made real-time tracking tools available to the public, including a dedicated link for monitoring the review of contested voting records.
The ongoing count underscores the careful, step-by-step validation process required under Peruvian electoral law, particularly in high-stakes elections where preliminary leads can shift during verification. Officials continue to emphasize transparency, urging the public to follow developments through authorized channels.
