Peru's Election Chief Resigns Amid Logistical Issues in Presidential Contest
The head of Peru's national election agency has resigned due to logistical problems that have plagued the country's presidential election. The election, which took place on April 12, faced significant challenges, including the failure to deliver voting materials to over a dozen centers in Lima, affecting more than 52,000 voters. As a result, the election was extended for an additional day. Piero Corvetto, the election chief, denied any wrongdoing but stepped down to restore confidence in the upcoming runoff vote scheduled for June 7. With 93.8% of votes counted, conservative leader Keiko Fujimori leads with 17.04% of the vote, followed by Roberto Sánchez and Rafael López Aliaga. The election has been contentious, with López Aliaga alleging fraud without evidence.
