Peru's election authorities announced on April 18 that the results of the first round of Peru's presidential election on April 12 will not be formally announced until mid-May due to the slow vote count and the need to review thousands of records, DW reported on April 19. In response, on April 19, at least 3,000 people protested in Lima in support of far-right candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga, who has previously alleged fraud against electoral authorities over irregularities during the vote.
