It is confirmed that Peru has turned right: Lopez Aliaga and Fujimori will pass to the second round
The far-right is gaining ground in the count, but when rural areas begin to be taken into account, the situation may change, as the voting deadline has been extended until Monday in some areas.
The ultraconservative candidate Rafael López Aliaga (Popular Renewal), businessman and former mayor of Lima, is currently the winner of the first round of the presidential election in Peru, when 25.11% of the votes were counted, a result that reflects the votes of the capital and other urban centres, which are the first to be counted.
Lopez Aliagahas so far won 19.44% of the votes , followed by right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular) (17.24%) and centrist Jorge Nieto (Partido del Buen Gobierno) (15.20%), according to the results platform of the National Electoral Processes Office (ONPE).
They are followed by right-wing humorist Carlos Álvarez (País Para Todos), with 8.99%; businessman Ricardo Belmont (Obras), with 8.84%; center-left Alfonso López Chau (Ahora Nación), with 7.04%; and centrist Marisol Pérez Tello (Primera la Gente), with 4.41%.
On the other hand, the leftist Roberto Sánchez (Juntos por el Peru) ranks ninth, with only 3.61% of the votes, but the polls in the polling stations give him a much better result because the candidate has a lot of support in the country's rural area, and those votes are yet to be counted.
Anyway, according to the polls published this Sunday, Fujimori will be the winner, but fairly equal to the other candidates.
According to these data, the parties currently represented in Congress that would be excluded from the presidential contestwould be Podemos Peru, Somos Peru, Alianza Para el Progreso, Avanza País and Peru Libre.
At several polling stations in Lima, electoral material arrived late, which has led to allegations of fraud. Some premises opened their tables five hours late, and 52,000 voters were unable to vote in the 13 polling stations. That is why voting was allowed this Monday in some districts.
More than 27.3 million Peruvians were called to the polls to elect the eleventh president of the past 10 years in constant political crisis.
