on Friday urged international community members —especially friendly nations— to refrain from commenting on the Peruvian electoral process as it will conclude when the
proclaims the results.
"Expressions in any sense by official authorities in exercise constitute interference and a lack of respect for the Peruvian people," the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs said via Twitter.
Furthermore, it stressed that this autonomous body is the only electoral authority responsible for counting votes in this process.
"It is important to remember that Consulates limit themselves to delivering the voting records prepared and signed by board members to ONPE and do not have the power to count votes or to register the number of voters," it concluded.
