Police raid Peru’s election authorities after outcry over slow vote count | Elections News
Anticorruption police raided the homes of former Peruvian election agency leader Piero Corvetto and five other officials, as well as offices belonging to a private company involved in ballot transport. The raids followed growing frustration over delays in the vote count, which has been slow to finalize despite accusations of wrongdoing. The EU's election mission found no evidence of fraud, and Corvetto resigned on Tuesday, denying any irregularities. Leading presidential candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga accused Corvetto of being a "criminal" and pledged to pursue him until his death.
