Keiko Fujimori is navigating a complex political landscape in Peru involving both election results and legislative disputes. Following reports from ONPE regarding the 2026 elections, Fujimori holds a narrow lead of 651 votes over Roberto Sánchez in the second-round runoff.

Simultaneously, her administration faces challenges regarding the delegation of legislative authority. Deputies from the Renovación Popular party initially proposed a substitute text to the Constitutional Commission to strictly limit requested powers to four specific areas: citizen insecurity, disaster risk management, economic reactivation, and state modernization. This was intended to prevent the granting of “broad or open-ended powers to the Executive branch.”

By late September, a draft report from the Constitution Commission recommended against granting these powers, citing concerns that the request covered imprecise areas and could turn the Executive into a “second Legislative branch.” Amid these developments, Fujimori announced plans to increase the minimum wage to 1,230 soles in October, with a further increase planned following the El Niño phenomenon, alongside a proposed bonus for micro and small enterprises.
