Peru: Leftist Candidate Says He Will Not Recognize Conservative Presidential Win
Breitbart ^ | June 24, 2026 | Christian K. Caruzo

Posted on 06/24/2026 1:01:19 PM PDT by Red Badger

Peruvian radical leftist lawmaker and presidential candidate Roberto Sánchez announced on Tuesday that he will not recognize the victory of conservative former first lady Keiko Fujimori, as Peru’s slow vote-counting process nears its end.

Peru has marked more than three weeks without any final results from the extremely close June 7 presidential runoff election between Fujimori and Sánchez. The election, much like its first round, has been marred by a slow vote-counting process by National Electoral Processes Office (ONPE).

As of Wednesday morning, with 99.859 percent of all votes counted, Fujimori holds a 43,386-vote lead against Sánchez. In the past days, Fujimori has extended her once extremely narrow vote lead over Sánchez as the last batches of vote tallies, including foreign votes cast by Peruvians living abroad, were counted. While international outlets stated on Wednesday that it is “mathematically impossible” for Sánchez to take the lead with only 0.141 percent of the votes left to count, no Peruvian authority has proclaimed a winner at press time.

Sánchez, a lawmaker running for president representing the Together for Peru far-left coalition, told reporters on Tuesday that he will not recognize an eventual Fujimori government because, according to him, there has been a “serious disruption of the electoral process,” suggesting irregularities with the overseas vote in which the conservative candidate obtained an overwhelming victory. The candidate argued that changes in the foreign vote logistics purportedly carried out by the Peruvian Foreign Ministry affected the “transparency” of the process. Sánchez called for a rally for Saturday, June 27, in response to a possible Fujimori victory.

“For us, this serious irregularity approved by the ONPE amounts to an ongoing fraud, because the votes cast at consular offices continue to be counted,” Sánchez reportedly claimed.

It seems to also be a 30-30 deadlock in the peruvian senate.

“Peru’s slow vote-counting process”

Did Peru’s leftists send a team to California to see how it’s done?

Gee, why doesn’t he hold his breath, stamp his feet, and then cry himself red-faced, while he’s at it?

A selfish, self righteous black woman in her late 50s at work said every couple of days: “That Bush is not my President.”

Socialists will be saying they don’t recognize our system, our leaders and our way of life until they overthrow the US.

They may be, but not as criminal as the socialist left. They steal far less.

A Singaporean colleague once confided in me that even their government was corrupt. The wife of their head of state owned a title company which almost everyone used for real estate transfers in the tiny nation.

However, the citizens tolerated it for two reasons:

  1. Their rates were competitive with the alternative competitors, few as they were.
  2. The conservative autocratic government was far less corrupt not only compared to regional alternatives but alternatives within Singapore.

Depends on how the leftists want to define 'democracy'. To them, a democracy is communism or socialism or combination of the two. To them, only "socialism" sounds like a democracy of the people, and "communism" also sounds like what a pure democracy sounds like, since the word, 'community' is implied.

Nice sounding words are the things that blind people the most when it comes to what they then believe.

Except that, it's the conservative in this case that is gaining more votes as the counting continues.

Lefties only believe in “our democracy” when elections go their way.

Reminds me of the Henny Youngman joke about how he had his credit card stolen but didn’t report it because so far, the thief was spending less than his wife did.
