A new Ipsos Peru survey published on April 27 shows right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori and left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez deadlocked at 38% each ahead of Peru's presidential runoff scheduled for June 7, with 17% of respondents planning to cast a blank or invalid ballot and a further 7% undecided. The poll comes as the official first-round count remains unresolved at nearly 96% processed, with a disputed battle for second place between Sánchez and far-right candidate Rafael López Aliaga — who has alleged fraud without evidence, a claim dismissed by European Union and OAS observers. The uncertainty extends a prolonged institutional crisis in Peru (a country that has seen five presidents in five years), compounded by logistical delays and the resignation of the head of the national electoral office mid-count.
