Lima ¨C The battle for the second spot in Peru¡¯s presidential runoff against conservative Keiko Fujimori continued on Tuesday after a chaotic first round of voting that deepened voter anger.

Two days after Peruvians went to the polls to choose their ninth president in a decade, they are still waiting to know who will advance alongside Fujimori to June¡¯s second round.

Sunday¡¯s election was marred by logistical problems that prevented tens of thousands of people from casting a ballot.

Several polling stations opened on Monday to allow them to have their say.

With more than 76% of the votes counted, Fujimori ¡ª the daughter of divisive former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori ¡ª led with about 17% of the vote, according to electoral authorities.

The battle for second place pits an ultraconservative Trump fan, Rafael Lopez Aliaga, against leftist former trade minister Roberto Sanchez.

While Lopez Aliaga ¡ª a?former mayor of Lima?¡ª?was marginally ahead, his lead was shrinking as votes came in from southern rural areas that traditionally lean left.

Sanchez on Monday repeated his call for the drafting of a new constitution to replace the 1993 charter pushed through by Fujimori¡¯s autocratic father.

Lopez Aliaga, who has vowed to hunt down migrants, on Tuesday repeated his unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud.

¡°Don¡¯t let them steal our future,¡± he wrote on his social media accounts, calling on his supporters to demonstrate.

Political scientist Eduardo Dargent said that the dsyfunctional nature of the vote had ¡°given arguments, at the worst moment, to several people who will cry fraud or worse if they are not happy with the result.¡±

The head of the European Union¡¯s election observer mission, Annalisa Corrado, said her team found no evidence of fraud.

A record 35 candidates ran in the election, which was dominated by a surge in extortion and contract killings and disillusionment with a discredited political class seen as corrupt.

Some Peruvians said the election chaos had undermined their faith in the democratic process.

¡°We don¡¯t know if the results are true,¡± Yeraldine Garrido, a 35-year-old receptionist, said in Lima.

¡°It¡¯s been a major democratic failure,¡± Luis Gomez, a self-employed man of 60, said.

Police have detained one election official and raided a private contractor blamed for failing to deliver election materials on time.
