This term refers to the official results of the second round of the 2016 Peruvian general elections, published by the Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE), Peru’s electoral body. This specific election determined the President of Peru for the 2016-2021 term. The ONPE plays a crucial role in ensuring the transparency and integrity of the electoral process by compiling and disseminating the election results.
Access to this data is fundamental for democratic accountability and public understanding of the electoral outcome. These results provided the definitive outcome of a closely contested election, informing both Peruvian citizens and the international community of the chosen leadership. The 2016 second round was particularly significant due to the narrow margin of victory, highlighting the importance of accurate and readily available results from a trusted source like the ONPE. This information contributes to a peaceful transition of power and allows for analysis of voting patterns and political trends.
