Peru orders cancellation of April 12 general elections in Middle East due to regional conflict
Peru's Foreign Ministry cancels the April 12, 2026 general elections in the Middle East over security concerns amid ongoing regional conflict.
Peru's Foreign Affairs Minister Hugo de Zela has ordered the cancellation of the April 12, 2026 general elections in the Middle East due to the deteriorating security situation in the Gulf region. The decision was made after reviewing reports on the conflicts affecting countries in the area and aims to safeguard the safety of Peruvian citizens living there. The Ministry has also arranged evacuations for Peruvians stranded in conflict zones, with 163 already evacuated and 62 more in transit. The over 5,600 Peruvians residing in the Middle East will not be voting at planned polling stations in that region on election day.
