Peru election results delayed

The delay was caused by a contractor's failure to distribute electoral materials to dozens of polling stations on time.

Early official counts show a razor-thin race between right-wing candidates Rafael Lopez Aliaga and Keiko Fujimori, with neither close to the 50 percent required for an outright win.

Allegations of fraud have already surfaced from multiple campaigns as tensions rise across the country.

The final outcome is expected to lead to a head-to-head runoff vote later this year.
