Peru's presidential election second round count could take weeks

The final results of Peru's presidential election second round may not be available for several weeks, potentially extending until the end of June. The head of the Peruvian electoral authority, speaking to Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Tuesday, June 9, indicated that the vote count is expected to be prolonged. This delay is attributed to the extremely tight nature of the race, which has made a rapid conclusion unlikely. The announcement dampens expectations for an immediate outcome following the closely contested election.
