The Peruvian political party Juntos por el Perú (Together for Peru) has stated its candidate, Roberto Sánchez, will not recognize Keiko Fujimori as president should she be declared the winner. This stance is contingent on the National Elections Jury (JNE) addressing the party’s claims of irregularities in the recent presidential election. Specifically, Juntos por el Perú is demanding a full recount of votes and a thorough investigation into the complaints and appeals they have filed. Their lawyer, Walter Ayala, publicly reaffirmed this position, signaling a potential challenge to the election results. The party believes a fair resolution of their concerns is necessary for a legitimate transfer of power. This declaration adds to the ongoing political tension in Peru following a tightly contested election. The JNE is currently reviewing numerous challenges to the vote count.
