Independent
José María Balcázar was not an independent politician here; official Congress sources identify him as a member of Perú Libre.
Full reasoning
The infobox labels José María Balcázar as "Independent" immediately before the election, but official congressional sources identify him as belonging to Perú Libre.
- The official Congress roster lists “Balcázar Zelada José María — PERÚ LIBRE.”
- When Congress elected him president of Congress on 18 February 2026, its own news service described him as “de la bancada de Perú Libre” and noted that, by that election, he would assume the presidency of the republic.
So describing Balcázar as an independent politician in this context is incorrect.

- José María Balcázar es elegido presidente del Congreso de la República
La representación nacional eligió esta noche al congresista José María Balcázar, de la bancada de Perú Libre, como presidente del Congreso de la República... y, por ende, asumir, por encargo, la Presidencia de la República del país.
The JNE had counted all votes by 29 June 2026, with Fujimori holding about 50,000 more votes than Sánchez, certifying Fujimori as the election winner.
29 June was when ONPE finished counting actas, not when JNE certified the winner. JNE officially proclaimed Keiko Fujimori president-elect on 3 July 2026.
Full reasoning
This sentence conflates the roles and dates of two different electoral authorities.
- ONPE, not JNE, announced on 29 June 2026 that it had finished counting 100% of presidential actas.
- JNE officially proclaimed Keiko Fujimori as president-elect on 3 July 2026, after issuing the acta general.
So it is incorrect to say that JNE had counted all votes and certified the winner by 29 June. The counting milestone on that date belongs to ONPE; the official JNE proclamation came four days later.
