A Peruvian political alliance, Juntos por el Perú, is now claiming election fraud after initially accepting the results that secured their candidate, Roberto Sánchez, a place in the presidential runoff. Previously, the alliance urged respect for the initial vote count when it favored Sánchez. However, with the official count from the ONPE electoral body now indicating a different outcome, the alliance, alongside Rafael López Aliaga, is alleging widespread fraud. This shift in position has been accompanied by threats of disruptive protests, including a planned “Takeover of Lima.” The accusations and threats are raising concerns about political instability in the country. The alliance’s change in stance is being widely criticized as opportunistic. These developments follow the first round of presidential elections in Peru.
