It was eventually decided to be held on 26 January 2020. The 2020 proposed Peruvian general election would be held on 11 April 2020, to elect a new President of the Republic of Peru, along with 130 congressmen of the Congress of Peru. If successful, Vizcarra would not be eligible for re-election. President Martín Vizcarra initially presented legislation that would set the conditions for a snap election in 2020. Peru has 5 places in the Andean Parliament and are elected using a common constituency by open-list. Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method. To enter Congress, parties must either cross the 5% electoral threshold at the national level, or win at least seven seats in one constituency. The 130 members of Congress are elected in 27 multi-member constituencies using open list proportional representation. However, if in the first round the candidate who is in the first place already gets more than 50% of the popular vote, that candidate will automatically win the election and a run-off election will no longer be needed. The winner of the run-off election and the presidential election is the candidate who receives a plurality of the popular vote. The top two candidates who receive a plurality of the vote proceed to the run-off election, which took place on 6 June. The first round voting was held on 11 April and allows eligible voters to vote for any viable presidential candidate. The President is elected using the two-round system. However, the opposition gained control of Congress. Castillo was eventually named president-elect by the National Jury of Elections on 19 July, and was inaugurated on 28 July.

However, the declaration of an official outcome certifying the result by the National Jury of Elections was delayed following accusations of electoral fraud by opposition politicians. 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 negative public appeal in Congress and her preventive imprisonment for a year, while Castillo was a political newcomer who was previously unknown to 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 election experienced increased political polarization, conservative parties embracing far-right politics and national media attacking left-wing candidates. 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. General elections were held in Peru on 11 April 2021.
