The National Elections Board (JNE) on Saturday reported that Fuerza Popular and Peru Libre representatives have —once again— given their assent to the parameters established for the upcoming debate to be held one week before the June 6 presidential runoff election.


The event is set to take place at the National University of San Agustin (UNSA) in the southern city of Arequipa this Sunday.

Likewise, the electoral institution indicated that the debate will begin at 7 p.m. (local time) and be broadcast on TVPeru, JNE's official channel, and UNSA's social networks.

Furthermore, JNE Chairman Jorge Luis Salas met with UNSA Dean Rohel Sanchez in order to express gratitude for aiding in the organization of the debate.

The event will be divided in six sections: 

1. Peru of the Bicentennial
2. Health and pandemic management
3. Economy and job promotion
4. Education, science, and innovation
5. Fight against corruption and public integrity
6. Human rights, social policies, and assistance to vulnerable populations
