On March 31, the highly anticipated 2026 presidential debate will take place, featuring eleven candidates, including Keiko Fujimori, Rafael López Aliaga, and Roberto Sánchez, who will present their proposals on crucial topics such as employment, development, entrepreneurship, education, innovation, and technology. The debate will start at 8:00 p.m. and will be broadcasted on TV Perú and JNE TV, as well as being available on the social media channels of the National Jury of Elections.
In this second round, the candidates will face off in thematic blocks, starting with employment and development. One of the most anticipated moments will be the exchange between Fujimori and López Aliaga, who have intensified their differences in recent weeks. Marisol Pérez Tello, who is also participating, has been critical of both, stating that her approach is necessary to address the issues facing the country.
As we reported in this note, the debate is a key opportunity for voters to evaluate the proposals of the presidential candidates. In the first block, strategies to promote employment and entrepreneurship will be discussed, while the second will focus on education and innovation.
