The tie for first place forced the Special Electoral Jury (JEE) to apply the mechanism the law provides for such cases: flipping a coin.
The tiebreaker took place on Wednesday, November 4, starting at 10 in the morning. Quispe Capajaña chose "tails," and that was enough for him to prevail over Mamani Quispe.
