2026 Peruvian general election

General elections were held in Peru between 12–13 April, with a runoff election scheduled for 7 June 2026 to elect the president, vice presidents and the national legislature.[1][2] This was after the proposals to bring them forward to 2023 or 2024 due to the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests were rejected.[3][4][5] The presidential elections will determine the president and vice presidents, while the congressional elections will determine the composition of the Congress of Peru, which will return to being a bicameral legislature with a 60-seat Senate (first since the 1990 election) and 130-seat Chamber of Deputies. A record of 34 registered candidates entered the presidential race by December 2025.[6] The previous president, José Jerí, was removed from office in February 2026 by way of censure by a majority no-confidence vote in Congress.[a][8][7] Prior to the election, the power of Congress over the executive and judiciary branches of government was documented by observers who noted the importance of a new legislature,[9][10] with the Washington Post also writing that Keiko Fujimori's Popular Force had controlled Congress for a decade since the 2016 Peruvian general election.[11]

In the first round, far-right politician Keiko Fujimori placed first. Leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez placed second, narrowly securing a spot in the runoff election over far-right businessman Rafael López Aliaga.[12][13] Due to delays in various polling stations, election authorities extended voting by one day for voters unable to cast their ballots.[14] Following Sánchez's rise in votes later in the tabulation process, López Aliaga reportedly began a disinformation campaign against electoral authorities, accusing the vote-counting process of being fraudulent.[15] Electoral observers from the European Union and Peruvian authorities denied that voting irregularities took place.[16][17] López Aliaga faces potential criminal charges related to an alleged incitement of civil disorder after calling for an insurgency.[18] The National Jury of Elections (JNE) ruled that it would not annul the first round of elections and that the runoff election would take place on the scheduled date of 7 June 2026.[19]

Background

edit

The election is being held after a prolonged period of political instability that began well before the current electoral cycle. During the presidencies of Ollanta Humala, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Martín Vizcarra, the Congress was dominated by the opposition Popular Force, the party created by Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, and voted to block many of the actions performed by the presidents.[20][21][22] Fujimorists in Congress "earned a reputation as hardline obstructionists for blocking initiatives popular with Peruvians aimed at curbing the nation's rampant corruption" according to the Associated Press[23] and since the 2016 Peruvian general election, Popular Force held control of the nation's legislature.[11] During this period, the Fujimorist-led Congress used constitutional hardball against the executive and removed multiple presidents from office, with members of Congress also creating laws that benefitted organized crime while simultaneously obstructing the functions of law enforcement.[24][25]

Following the 2021 Peruvian general election, far-right parties, including Go on Country and Popular Renewal, gained control of Congress.[26][27][28] After left-wing presidential candidate Pedro Castillo won the presidency, Fujimori and her supporters made claims of electoral fraud, leading obstructionist efforts to overturn the election with support of citizens in Lima.[29][30][31][32][33][34] Many business groups and politicians refused to recognize Castillo's ascent to the presidency,[35] along with those among the more affluent, including former military officers and wealthy families. They demanded new elections, promoted calls for a military coup, and used rhetoric to support their allegations of fraud.[30] From the beginning of his presidency, Castillo was targeted by members of Congress,[36] who made it clear that they wanted to remove him from office by impeachment.[37]

Due to broadly interpreted impeachment wording in the 1993 Constitution of Peru, Congress can impeach the president on the vague grounds of "moral incapacity",[38] effectively making the legislative branch more powerful than the executive branch.[39][40][41][42] Congress, which had already attempted to impeach Castillo twice, began a third process of impeachment in late 2022. On 7 December 2022, Castillo attempted a self-coup, dissolving Congress as well as the Judiciary bodies, imposing a curfew, and establishing an emergency government. He was arguing that the legislative body, which had obstructed many of his policies,[43][44][45] was serving oligopolistic businesses and had colluded with the Constitutional Court of Peru to undermine the executive branch, thereby creating a "congressional dictatorship".[43] The move was rejected by state institutions; he was removed from office and arrested.[46] Two months after Castillo was removed, Congress would obtain nearly absolute control of Peru's government when the Constitutional Court, whose members were directly chosen by Congress, removed judicial oversight of the legislative body.[47][48][49]

Castillo's vice president, Dina Boluarte, assumed the presidency amid the widespread protests against her government. Following her ascension to the presidency, Boluarte aligned herself with the radical right-wing majority in Congress.[50][51][52][53][54] She was described by analysts as authoritarian due to her crackdown on demonstrations,[55] with human rights groups such as Amnesty International,[56] Human Rights Watch,[57] the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights[58] and the National Coordinator for Human Rights[59] criticizing her administration's response, especially after the Ayacucho and Juliaca massacres. Although proposals were repeatedly introduced to bring forward the scheduled 2026 vote, they were rejected by Boluarte and Congress.[25] In October 2025, Boluarte was removed from office by Congress on "permanent moral incapacity" grounds amid mounting public anger over insecurity and corruption allegations.[60][61]

In his position in the order of succession, president of Congress José Jerí succeeded Boluarte, initially assumed the presidency leading into the 2026 elections.[62] Jerí became Peru's seventh president in nine years.[63] However, in February 2026, José Jerí was removed from office by Congress for holding undisclosed meetings with Zhihua Yang, a Chinese businessman under scrutiny from the Peruvian government.[64] He was succeeded by José María Balcázar, who was elected by Congress to serve as president of Congress and thus made president of Peru.[65]

The campaign has taken shape amid heightened public concern over national security, public safety, organized crime, persistent distrust in political institutions, and ongoing debates about corruption and economic governance.[66] Concerns about the power Congress held over the executive and judiciary branches were also noted by observers, with Will Freeman of the Council on Foreign Relations warning that Congress was attempting to build a "mafia state" in the run-up to the elections.[9][10] Similarly, Human Rights Watch warned of democratic backsliding occurring, with director of the Americas division, Juanita Goebertus Estrada, stating that "Congress has taken steps to undermine the independence and capacity of courts, prosecutors, and key government institutions" and that "[as] Congress goes unchecked, many Peruvians point to its role in weakening the rule of law as the reason for the expansion of organized crime in the country."[67]

A return to a bicameral legislative system was also established by Congress, overruling the 2018 constitutional referendum where voters voted to maintain a unicameral system,[25] which includes 130 seats for deputies and 60 seats for senators. Congress also reversed the decision of voters who chose in the 2018 referendum to prohibit officeholders from being re-elected.[25] Deputies serve in the lower house, tasked with presenting legislative bills and providing oversight of the Cabinet of Peru, having more responsibility over political objectives. Senators represent the upper house and hold more institutional control; they review bills presented by deputies and are responsible for electing the directors of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the members of the Constitutional Court, the Comptroller General, Ombudsman of Peru and other institutional leaders. Upper house senators also hold the power to approve certain functions of the executive, such as foreign travel, and the ability to remove the president.[68] The president also cannot dissolve the upper house of Congress, granting that body a large amount of power.[69]

Since 2025, The Economist has described Peru’s political system as “hybrid,” and according to V-Dem Institute, it is “in the process of becoming autocratic”.[70]

Electoral system

edit

The president is elected using the two-round system.[71] The first round of voting allows eligible voters to vote for any viable presidential candidate.[71] The top two candidates who receive a plurality of the vote proceed to the run-off election.[71] The winner of the run-off election and the presidential election is the candidate who receives a plurality of the popular vote.[71][72] However, if in the first round the candidate who is in the first place already gets more than 50% of the popular vote, that candidate will automatically win the election and a run-off election will no longer be needed.[72]

The 130 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected in 27 multi-member constituencies using open list proportional representation.[73] Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.[74][75] The 60 senators are elected through two systems, with 30 elected in a single nationwide constituency through proportional representation and 30 elected from the 27 constituencies used for the Chamber of Deputies, with Lima province electing four senators and the other 26 constituencies electing one each.[76] Peru has five seats in the Andean Parliament, which are elected using a common constituency by open list proportional representation.[77]

To gain seats in each chamber, parties must both reach a 5% electoral threshold of valid votes for the chamber at the national level and also qualify for at least 5% of the number of seats of the respective chamber (7 for the chamber of deputies and 3 for the senate). For the senate, the combined vote total for the district and national list senators is used when checking whether a party has reached the threshold.[78][79]

Presidential candidates

edit

A record number of presidential candidates participated in the first round of elections, with 36 individuals appearing on the initial ballot on 12 and 13 April 2026.[80] The first round ballot itself measured 16.5 inches (42 cm) by 17.3 inches (44 cm), and was described as being the size of a pizza box.[80][81] Napoleón Becerra of the Workers and Entrepreneurs Party appeared on first round ballots despite dying in a car accident on 15 March 2026, since they had already been printed.[82][83]

The remaining two candidates who went to the run-off election, Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez, will appear on the second round ballot.[84]

Campaign

edit

The primary concerns among voters in the election were corruption and crime, though with extortion and homicides increasing greatly since the previous election, security became the main concern for voters.[85][86]

First round

edit

Campaign issues

edit

Extortion crimes increased 1,000% between 2023 and 2025, with gangs targeting schools, small businesses and transportation workers, killing workers who refuse to pay protection payments.[86][87][88][89] Between 2019 and 2024, the national homicide rate grew 200% and in 2025, about 33% of people reported knowing someone affected by extortion.[90] Over 500 schools in Peru faced extortion, 325 were closed due to threats and in some instances, schools began accounting for extortion payments in their budgets.[88][89] In 2025, over 50 transportation drivers in Lima and surrounding areas were murdered, reportedly related to extortion conflicts.[87][89] According to experts, the causes of the increase of crime include economic difficulties following the COVID-19 pandemic, the political crisis in Peru, the expansion of foreign gangs, and corrupt or bribed police cooperating with gangs.[87][88][91] States of emergencies were declared and troops were deployed onto streets, though this resulted in no change in crime rates.[89] In a notable event, the Círculo Militar de Chorrillos shooting occurred when a gang attempting to extort the cumbia band Agua Marina fired their guns at the band while on stage on 8 October 2025, with the shooting leading to the impeachment of Dina Boluarte as some argued her crime prevention policies being ineffective.[92]

The growth of crime resulted in extreme positions by some political candidates.[85] Front-runner Keiko Fujimori proposed having those incarcerated perform jobs in order to eat, stating "We will force prisoners to work for their food".[91] Carlos Álvarez described himself as "the Peruvian Bukele",[93] and said that if in office, he would designate all criminals as military targets subject to death if they did not surrender, saying "to hell with the human rights of criminals".[94] Rafael Lopez Aliaga proposed capturing criminals, helicoptering them into prisons in the Amazon rainforest and having the jails surrounded by South American bushmaster vipers.[85][91] Lopez Aliaga also proposed greater cooperation with the United States on crime, approving American troops to apprehend criminals in Peru and sending prisoners to the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador.[91][95]

Second round

edit

Multiple protests occurred throughout Peru against the candidacy of Fujimori after she entered the second round, with anti-Fujimorists sharing fears that she will lead an authoritarian government similar to her father, Alberto Fujimori, who died in prison following convictions for crimes against humanity.[96][97] Harvard University professor Steven Levitsky stated that if Fujimori were to attempt to create an authoritarian government following an election win, she would have little opposition from Peru's institutions as she has taken advantage of political connections in the Peruvian Armed Forces, businesses and with "criminal or semi-criminal alliances".[98] These protests affected Fujimori's final campaign rally in Huancayo, Junín on 26 May 2026, where protests became so severe that police resorted to dispersing demonstrators with tear gas, with Fujimori announcing following the incident that "Order will return to Junín and all of Peru".[99] On 31 May 2026, thousands marched in Lima against Fujimori's candidacy.[97] Most of the media supported Keiko Fujimori.[70]

Conduct

edit

First round

edit

Election monitoring was performed by the Electoral Observation Mission of the European Union, which comprised 150 members, and 90 officials of the Organization of American States.[114] Other monitoring included individuals from the Association of World Election Bodies, the Carter Center, the Center for Electoral Advisory and Promotion and the Inter-American Union of Electoral Organizations, alongside local monitoring groups. About 10,550 locations hosted 92,720 voting stations nationally. Internationally, 4,000 voting stations were established, though voting in Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia was cancelled due to the 2026 Iran war.[115][116]

On election day, ballots and materials for dozens of polling stations were delivered late or not delivered at all, resulting in over 50,000 people being unable to vote. Voting issues in Orlando, Florida and Paterson, New Jersey were also reported. These complications resulted in an extension in the voting deadline for the affected voters.[69] Voters in Chile, where about 113,000 Peruvians reside, expressed frustrations as well when shuttles promised to bring people to polling stations were not used and when the opening of voting at Espacio Riesco [es] was delayed by five hours, starting at 12:00 noon (UTC−05:00) instead of the planned 7:00.[117] Reports by the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) showed that this delay had an insignificant effect on voter turnout.[19]

Keiko Fujimori was quickly determined to be the candidate most likely heading to the second round of presidential elections.[16] As the tabulation of voting data occurred, left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez saw his position move from 6th place to 3rd place by 15 April.[118] While a group of European Union electoral observers and governmental authorities reported no voting irregularities, right-wing protestors gathered at the headquarters of the National Jury of Elections (JNE), participating in sit-in demonstrations.[16] On 24 April 2026, the JNE ruled 3–2 against annulling the first round of elections and said that the second round would occur on its already scheduled date of 7 June 2026.[19]

Aftermath

edit

First round

edit

"If you don’t declare this filth null and void, Mr. Burneo, get ready ... You’re going to get a big one. A huge tortoise so you’ll behave like a man. You know where I’m going to shove it. We’re going to shove the tortoise in you, you know exactly where."

Rafael López Aliaga, 14 April 2026[15][17]

During the election, dozens of polling stations opened late or did not open at all, which initially prevented more than 60,000 voters from being able to cast their votes; because of this, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) extended voting until 18:00 and extended the election until 13 April in areas affected.[119] It was found that the company responsible for transporting election material had failed to comply with its contract, leaving polling stations unable to operate. The headquarters of the company were subsenquently raided by the police.[120] An investigation revealed that the government had already penalized the company for failing to fulfill its contracts regarding the election on three previous occasions,[121] and that already in March the authorities had warned ONPE of risks that tasking the company with the distribution of election materials would entail.[122] As the result, José Samamé Blas, the ONPE's electoral management director, was arrested and charged with dereliction of duty and refusal to perform official duties.[123]

In the weeks leading up to the elections, El País reported that Rafael López Aliaga had already begun making claims of electoral fraud.[17] According to La República, Rafael López Aliaga implemented a disinformation campaign to discredit the election, accusing electoral authorities of engaging in fraud.[15] The newspaper reported that former police intelligence agents that were assisting López Aliaga's Popular Renewal party told journalists that a plan was organized by the party to remove head of the ONPE, Piero Corvetto and the head of the National Elections Board (JNE), Roberto Burneo, replacing them with sympathetic officials who would invalidate the election.[15] Several mostly right-wing presidential candidates, including Rafael López Aliaga,[124] Wolfgang Grozo, Herbert Caller,[125] Álex Gonzales, and Francisco Diez-Canseco called for an invalidation of the election.[126] López Aliaga organized a demonstration, demanding the invalidation of the election.[127] El País reported that during a speech, López Aliaga made homophobic attacks and said he would rape Burneo, the head of the JNE, with a tortoise if he did not annul the elections.[17] He accused the authorities of conducting "ballot box stuffing" in order to make Keiko Fujimori advance to the runoff; López Aliaga also called for an "insurgency" if the elections were not invalidated.[128][129][130] After calling for an insurgency, López Aliaga faced criminal charges related to an alleged incitement of civil disorder from the Public Ministry of Peru.[18]

In addition to his call for protests, López Aliaga offered 20,000 Peruvian soles (approximately 6,000 United States dollars in April 2026) to individuals who assisted his argument of electoral fraud being committed.[131] Fujimori, who had previously offered her alliance with López Aliaga by avoiding political attacks,[132] said that she would provide all representatives of her Popular Force party to assist López Aliaga in any potential fact-finding. According to La República, this may have been an attempt by Fujimori to prevent Sánchez from advancing to the second round of elections. Sánchez reacted to López Aliaga's offer to pay those assisting his electoral fraud narrative by saying "If there are doubts about this process, they must be substantiated with evidence before the authorities, not by paying bribes."[133]

ONPE head Piero Corvetto resigned as a result of the controversy and faced investigations related to the implementation of the first round of elections.[19]

Notes

edit
  1. Censure, rather than impeachment, was possible because of his status as interim president, holding the office of president only by virtue of also being head of Congress. Unlike impeachment, which requires a supermajority of two thirds, or 86 members out of the 130-member legislature, censuring stripped him of his title as head of Congress with a simple majority. His interim status was then used to remove him from the presidency.[7]
  2. Deceased in a car accident on 15 March 2026, but his ticket remained on a ballot, with all votes for him counted as invalid
