Sánchez or Fujimori

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, the second round of the presidential elections took place in Peru. After approximately 98% of the votes have been counted, Keiko Fujimori, candidate of the conservative party Fuerza Popular, is slightly above the 50% mark, while Roberto Sánchez, candidate of the left-wing party Juntos por el Perú, is slightly below it. This currently indicates a deadlock, in which any outcome remains possible. Peru’s foreign policy, shaped by its role as a self-confident middle power that values stable relations with the international community, has traditionally followed long-term strategic lines. This approach is expected to continue under the new government, regardless of its political orientation.
