Peru’s ballot count drags on amid frustration with presidential election

What Happened

Peru's presidential election results remain incomplete three days after voting. With 90 percent of ballots counted, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori leads with 17 percent. Leftist Roberto Sanchez holds second place at 12.04 percent, followed closely by far-right Rafael Lopez Aliaga at 11.9 percent. Only top two finishers advance to June runoff. Election observers found no concrete fraud evidence despite logistical failures. Public skepticism persists amid Peru's political instability.
