General elections were held in Peru in 2006. On 9 April, voting took place for the President, two Vice-Presidents, 120 members of the Congress, and five Peruvian members of the Andean Parliament (plus 10 substitutes), for the 2006-2011 period. As the no presidential candidate received a majority of the vote, a second round was held on 4 June between the top two candidates, Ollanta Humala and Alan García. Garcia won the run-off with 52.62% to Humala's 47.37%. He was subsequently inaugurated on 28 July 2006, Peruvian National Day.
