Peru election hit by delays

Chaos erupted during Peru's general election as a contractor failed to distribute ballots and voting materials on time, paralyzing the process in key areas.

Presidential candidates Rafael Lopez Aliaga and Carlos Alvarez have raised concerns over the integrity of the vote, while the National Elections Jury has ordered an additional day of voting for impacted residents.

Early exit polls suggest a tight race among the 35 contenders, with Keiko Fujimori and Lopez Aliaga among the frontrunners.

The disruption has deepened public frustration in a country that has seen eight presidents in the last decade.
