(LIP-wb) -- Settlers obviously not accepting the possible re-election of a mayor in the Peruvian region of San Martin, set his house on fire and burned a large chunk of electoral material early this morning, 12 hours after the voting stations closed.
Mayor Humberto Puelles Olivera of the "Movement New Amazon" ran for another term in office in Campanilla, located in the Mariscal Cáceres province, south of the jungle city of Tarapoto.
Other disturbances were registered in Pisco where apparently sore losers broke in and damaged the City Hall in rejection to the electoral triumph of independent candidate Julio Onuñez.
In Calamarca, region of La Libertad, a group of people forcefully entered voting stations and destroyed several ballots.
A number of smaller incidents were reported from other parts of the country.
