Roberto Sánchez, the presidential candidate for Juntos por el Perú, is minimizing reported irregularities from the first round of voting that led to his qualification for a runoff election. Despite his advancement being marked by logistical delays and observations regarding the April 12th process, Sánchez asserts that the rules were generally followed during the initial vote. He alleges a “developing fraud” without detailing specific instances related to the first round. This statement comes as he prepares to compete in a second-round election. Sánchez’s claims are noteworthy given previous scrutiny of the electoral process. His campaign is now focused on addressing perceived issues and rallying support for the upcoming ballotage. The electoral authorities have not yet responded to Sánchez’s allegations.
