Statement from the Chief of the OAS Electoral Observation Mission in Peru, Sergio Abreu

  April 8, 2016

The statements attributed to me today were inexact. The Secretary General of the Organization, Luis Almagro, expressed himself on the electoral process in Peru in his full institutional capacity and responsibility. In that sense, the position taken by the Electoral Observation Mission of the Organization in 2014 on the system of strikeouts and disqualifications represents the position of the Organization.

The Mission will express itself only on its technical work in a report that I will present, as Chief of Mission, the day following the election.
