Peru's Andean district split in runoff

A small mountain district in Peru's Andean region, just past the outskirts of Lima, was perfectly split in the presidential runoff election, offering a stark visual snapshot of the country's enduring political fractures. The result highlights the deep divide between coastal and highland communities, as well as urban and rural voters. The district's even split underscores the polarization that has shaped Peru's politics in recent years, with neither candidate able to secure a decisive majority locally.
