"Presidential candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga, leader of the Renovacion Popular party and a businessman, arrived on Sunday at a polling station set up at Estacionamiento Petroperu in Lima to cast his vote in Peru’s general elections. In the footage, Lopez Aliaga is seen entering the polling station and casting his ballot, greeted by supporters gathered at the site. Lopez Aliaga, a former mayor of Lima and one of the leading contenders in the race, is seeking the presidency for the second time after running in 2021. He resigned from his post as mayor in October 2025 to launch his new presidential bid. His platform includes reducing the number of government ministries to streamline public spending, privatizing the state-owned oil company Petroperu, and promoting greater competition in the banking sector to expand access to credit. On security, he advocates for a hardline approach against crime and corruption, alongside strengthening law enforcement. A self-described social conservative, Lopez Aliaga has drawn attention for controversial proposals during the campaign, including granting national identification to unborn children and establishing remote detention camps for criminals, ideas that have contributed to his polarizing image among voters."
