(CNN Spanish) -
The Government of Peru delivered a protest note to the Argentine ambassador in the country after President Alberto Fernández congratulated the candidate for the presidency for Peru Libre, Pedro Castillo.
The Peruvian government note highlighted that "the final results of the 2021 General Elections have not yet been announced by the electoral authorities of our country."
Earlier, through his Twitter page, Fernández said that he had communicated with Castillo, whom he called "president-elect."
However, as of Thursday afternoon, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) has not declared a winner in the presidential elections held on Sunday between Keiko Fujimori and Castillo.
When will the final results be known in Peru?
