1963 Peruvian general election
General elections were held in Peru on 9 June 1963 to elect the President and both houses of the Congress after the results of the 1962 elections were annulled following a military coup.[1] The Peruvian Armed Forces, who controlled the nation as a military junta following the coup, largely controlled the electoral process to prevent the election of Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre.[2] Supported by Popular Action and the Christian Democrat Party, Fernando Belaúnde Terry won the presidential election with 39% of the vote, whilst the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance emerged as the largest party in both houses of Congress. Following a coup on 3 October 1968, no further elections were held until a Constituent Assembly was elected in 1978.[1] ResultsPresident
