At least 3,000 people demonstrated in Pru’s capital Lima on Sunday to demand that their votes be counted in Peru’s presidential elections.
Backers of ultraconservative candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga and members of civic groups demanded their votes be respected following serious accusations of fraud against the National Office of Electoral Processes over irregularities in the organisation and logistics of the race.
Results from the first round of Peru’s presidential election will not be released until mid-May, after a chaotic vote leading to what appeared to be a tight race.
A record 35 candidates ran for president on April 12 in the chronically unstable Andean nation, where four of the last eight presidents were impeached by Congress.
