Control of Peru's presidency will determine economic policy, judicial and anti‑corruption priorities, and the composition of the government for the next five years.

The victor will shape business regulation, social spending, security strategy, and how the executive negotiates with a fragmented Congress.

Keiko Fujimori, Rafael López Aliaga, Verónika Mendoza, César Acuña, Hernando de Soto, George Forsyth, Daniel Urresti, and José Williams are among declared or potential front‑runners.

Political parties from right‑wing, centrist, and leftist blocs, alongside regional leaders and electoral authorities, will shape endorsements, alliances, and vote counts.

Polls, economic performance, and corruption allegations can swing support rapidly between candidates.

Media coverage, televised debates, last‑minute legal moves, party coalitions, and turnout differentials in Lima versus rural regions will move probabilities before ballots are cast.

Key dates include candidate registration deadlines, the formal campaign period, the first‑round election day, and a likely second‑round run‑off if no candidate wins an absolute majority.

Track national polls, regional turnout trends, prosecutor announcements or indictments, televised debates, and official vote tallies during provisional and final counts.
