- On Sunday, The JNE officially confirmed that right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori and left-wing contender Roberto Sánchez will compete in a presidential runoff on June 7 following certification of Apr. 12 general election results.
- National Jury president Roberto Burneo oversaw the certification after The National Office of Electoral Processes completed the 100 percent vote count Friday, 33 days after the election, with The JNE reviewing more than 60,000 disputed voting records.
- Keiko Fujimori led with nearly 2.9 million ballots, while Roberto received 2.01 million votes and far-right candidate Rafael López Aliaga secured 1.99 million; Blank and null votes totaled 3.41 million.
- Facing delays in Lima and the United States, the election saw 35 candidates compete in Peru's largest presidential race; Aliaga unsuccessfully demanded a new election and audit, alleging fraud without presenting conclusive evidence.
- Roberto, an ally of imprisoned former President Pedro Castillo who defeated Keiko Fujimori in 2021, will face the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori in the June 7 runoff determining Peru's next five-year governance.
