The Peruvian election process has been even more tense this week, with one of the four judges reviewing the batch of votes questioned by Keiko resigned from his post. The more right-wing deployed magistrate saw this as a ploy to delay the declaration of results.

The court inaugurated the new judge this Saturday. National Election Jury President George Salas criticized the obstruction efforts. “Electoral justice cannot be undermined or prevented, much less at this stage,” he said.

“These disruptive arts will not thrive,” Salas warned.

The review of the questioned ballots will continue from Monday. Official results will be announced only after a thorough review.
