Market context

Peru's general election is set for 12 April 2026, with the presidential race remaining fluid as candidates declare intentions and coalition negotiations intensify across the political spectrum. The 0% probability assigned to this particular market option suggests either a specific candidate name has been selected for resolution or the market structure reflects early-stage uncertainty where no frontrunner has crystallised in trader positioning.

Peru's electoral history demonstrates volatile outcomes shaped by anti-establishment sentiment and fragmentation across ideological lines. The 2021 election saw Pedro Castillo, a relatively unknown rural educator, advance to a runoff against right-wing Keiko Fujimori—a result few polling aggregates had anticipated weeks prior. Institutional instability, including Castillo's 2022 self-coup attempt and subsequent imprisonment, has further destabilised traditional party structures. Traders should account for Peru's pattern of late-breaking candidate viability shifts and the possibility of surprise frontrunners emerging from outside established political machinery.

Key dates and developments to monitor include formal candidate registration deadlines, which typically occur months before election day, and any major court rulings affecting candidate eligibility. Economic conditions—particularly inflation and employment figures—will shape voter sentiment heading into April. Recent reporting from local media outlets tracking coalition formations and polling releases will provide early signals of momentum shifts. The settlement window extends to 31 October 2026, allowing time for potential runoff resolution if no candidate secures the required plurality in the first round.

We show live odds for Polymarket-based markets (sourced from the Polygon order book); for other venues we list platform attributes, since the comparable contracts are not exposed via a public API on every venue. Every CTA points at Prediction Today — the application we operate, where you trade directly against the Polymarket order book at 0% fees.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
