Sanchez's Runoff Reality Check Peru's presidential election has been marked by controversy, with Roberto Sanchez's narrow victory in the first round and subsequent indictment on campaign finance charges raising more questions than answers about the country's electoral process.
His win, which will see him face off against Keiko Fujimori in the June 7 runoff, was made possible by a slim margin of just over 18,000 votes.
Sanchez and his far right rival Rafael Lopez Aliaga were neck and neck until the very end, making this outcome all the more striking.
