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. 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. 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.
