Peru's top two presidential candidates have been confirmed for a 7 June runoff after a month-long delay reviewing contested ballots from the first round.
Right-wing Keiko Fujimori, daughter of imprisoned former president Alberto Fujimori, will face leftist Roberto Sanchez, seen as the political heir to jailed ex-leader Pedro Castillo.
Together they secured only 29 per cent of first-round votes, and both face corruption investigations.
Polls show 48 per cent of Peruvians say they will never vote for Fujimori, whilst influential elites and media oppose Sanchez's reform platform.
