Market context

General elections in Peru culminated in a presidential runoff on 7 June 2026, pitting conservative Keiko Fujimori against left-leaning Roberto Sánchez after no candidate secured a majority in the first round held on 12 April. The contest has narrowed to a razor-thin margin of under 20,000 votes, with Sánchez officially leading at 50.055% against Fujimori’s 49.945% as 96% of ballots were counted [2]. This market currently implies a 0% probability for Fujimori to win, a stark divergence from sportsbook lines that still offer her a marginal chance and analyst consensus which views the race as effectively undecided despite the official count [2][3].

Peru’s recent history frames this probability, having installed nine presidents in the last decade amid chronic instability and polarising runoffs where first-round leaders often lose the final vote [2]. Comparable cases suggest that a first-round victor like Fujimori, who finished with 17.19%, faces significant headwinds in a polarised second round, particularly when trailing in the official tally [1][3]. Traders must monitor the final certification by the National Jury of Elections (JNE) and any potential recounts, as the market resolves solely on official government results if ambiguity arises [8]. Recent reporting confirms the gap remains razor-thin, meaning a single shift in uncounted ballots could alter the outcome before the 31 October 2026 settlement deadline [2].

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
