Electoral authorities have counted 93.5% of the votes cast in Peru's June 7 runoff presidential election, with right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori receiving 50.03% and leftist candidate Roberto Sanchez receiving 49.97%, Reuters reported the same day. Exit polls indicate Sanchez received 50.3% of the vote and that Fujimori received 49.7%.

The runoff vote count has proceeded smoothly, differing from the logistical challenges and operational issues that led Peruvian authorities to take more than 30 days to confirm the results of the April 12 first-round vote. Peru's elections were characterized by severe political fragmentation, with a record 35 presidential candidates. In recent presidential disputes, the winner received fewer than 0.3 percentage points more votes than the runner-up. Peru has faced heightened popular dissatisfaction with the political establishment amid persistent instability and growing violence. The country has had eight presidents over the past 10 years, and three since October 2025.
