In the 5 June runoff, she lost to Humala, 51.34% (7,937,704 votes) to 48.66% (7,490,647 votes).
The vote totals are correct, but the percentages are not. Official results show Ollanta Humala won 51.449% to Keiko Fujimori’s 48.551%.
Full reasoning
This sentence gives the correct vote totals for the 2011 runoff, but the percentages are wrong.
Official results from Peru’s Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE) show the consolidated second-round totals as:
- Gana Perú / Ollanta Humala: 7,937,704 votes, 51.449% of valid votes
- Fuerza 2011 / Keiko Fujimori: 7,490,647 votes, 48.551% of valid votes
A Georgetown University election database page that cites Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) reports the same figures: Humala 51.45% and Fujimori 48.55%.
So the article’s numbers 51.34% and 48.66% do not match the official result, even though the raw vote counts in the same sentence do.

This majority resulted with Fujimori and her party controlling Congress for a decade.
Popular Force did not control Peru’s Congress for a decade. Its 2016 majority ended well before 2026, and later congresses were far more fragmented.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates how long Keiko Fujimori’s party controlled the legislature.
Popular Force did win a dominant majority in the 2016–2019 Congress, but that did not continue for “a decade.” After the 2019 dissolution of Congress, the 2020–2021 Congress seated a much smaller Fujimorist bloc: El Peruano reports that Fuerza Popular had 15 representatives in that chamber. Then, in the 2021 general election, IFES Election Guide records that Popular Force won 24 of 130 seats, while Peru Libre won 37—again showing Fujimori’s party did not control Congress. Even in the 2026 bicameral Congress, El Peruano says Fuerza Popular obtained 41 of 130 deputies (the largest bloc, but not a majority) and that six parties won seats.
So the article’s claim that the 2016 majority meant Fujimori and her party were “controlling Congress for a decade” is incorrect. Their commanding control ended years earlier, and subsequent legislatures were fragmented rather than dominated by Popular Force.
