The official count of the second round by the National Office of Electoral Processes indicated that Castillo had won with 50.13% of the vote, a lead of 44,263 over Fujimori. Both candidates were surprise contenders Fujimori had initially been discounted due to her party's poor performance in Congress and her imprisonment for a year, while Castillo was a political newcomer who was previously unknown to much of the public. In the second round he faced Keiko Fujimori, the leader of the right-wing Popular Force who had previously lost the run-offs of the 2011 and the 2016 elections. Pedro Castillo, a member of the left-wing Free Peru party, received the most votes in the first round. The congressional elections determined the composition of the Congress of Peru, with all 130 seats contested. The presidential election, which determined the president and the vice presidents, required a run-off between the two top candidates, which was held on 6 June 2021. General elections were held in Peru on 11 April 2021.
