Fujimori leads Roberto Sánchez
The partial results reflect that Keiko Fujimori obtains 52.71% of the valid votes, equivalent to 5,296,463 votes.
Meanwhile, candidate Roberto Sánchez Palomino, representative of Together for Peru, registers 47.28% of the vote, with a total of 4,750,698 votes.
The difference between both candidates remains while the processing of the minutes from different regions of the country and the vote cast abroad continues.
More than half of the minutes are still pending
