Market context

Peru will hold its general presidential election on 12 April 2026, with a runoff scheduled for 7 June if no candidate secures a majority, a scenario that has already materialised. The contest pits conservative Keiko Fujimori of Popular Force against left-leaning Roberto Sánchez of Juntos por el Perú, following a first round where Fujimori led with 17.19% and Sánchez took second with 12.03%, narrowly beating Rafael López Aliaga by just over 20,000 votes[1][3].

Historically, Peru has elected nine presidents in the past decade, reflecting deep institutional instability and frequent shifts between right and left, which frames the current 0% crowd-implied probability as a market anomaly rather than a reflection of electoral reality[2]. Comparable cases from the 2000s and 2010s show that runoff margins often narrow dramatically, with the 2026 gap already shrinking to under 20,000 votes after 96% of ballots were counted[2]. This volatility suggests that a zero probability ignores the razor-thin nature of the contest and the precedent of late swings in Peruvian runoffs.

Traders should monitor the final certified results from the National Jury of Elections (JNE), the official count completion date, and any post-runoff protests or legal challenges, as ambiguity could trigger the market’s “Other” resolution if results remain unclear by 31 October 2026[8]. Recent reporting notes that the electoral body has counted over 17.8 million votes, with Sánchez at 50.055% and Fujimori at 49.945%, indicating a decisive but contested outcome[2]. The market’s divergence from sportsbook lines and analyst consensus—many of whom treat the race as a coin flip—underscores a critical pricing inefficiency worth scrutiny.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

PolyGram is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

Not under $1,500 of lifetime trading volume. Above that threshold, PolyGram triggers a quick verification flow that finishes in minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
