Across the Atlantic, Peru conducted its 2026 congressional elections on Sunday, with voters in regions from Áncash to San Martín, Madre de Dios, and Apurímac choosing their new senators and deputies. La República reported on results streaming in from multiple departments throughout the day.
The elections come at a turbulent time for Peruvian democracy, which has weathered multiple presidential crises in recent years. The new bicameral Congress — restored after decades — will be tasked with stabilizing the country’s fractured political landscape.
