Peruvian politician and former military officer, president 2011–2016
Peru’s presidential run-off is set between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez after a chaotic first round in April. Prosecution allegations against Sánchez and mining’s role in the economy color a campaign that has extended delays, protests and irregular voting patterns abroad.
Peru’s presidential runoff between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez remains closely balanced as voters weigh crime, economic policy, and the legacy of past leaders. Polls show a statistical tie, with urban-rural splits and skepticism over institutions shaping the outcome.
Peru’s Constitutional Court has nullified the entire criminal proceedings against former president Ollanta Humala and his wife Nadine Heredia, following a 2025 conviction for money laundering tied to Odebrecht funding. Humala is expected to be freed from Barbadillo Prison in Lima. The decision marks a dramatic turn in a case that has spanned several presidents and the Odebrecht corruption scandal.
