Acción Popular Faces Internal Fight Over Delegate List Ahead of Dec. 7 Nominee Vote

Chávez is urging Peru’s election authorities to verify registrations to prevent unauthorized substitutions.

Overview

  • Acción Popular’s National Electoral Committee has proclaimed the Nov. 30 results and formally notified the ONPE and JNE.
  • Julio Chávez alleges a faction linked to Alfredo Barnechea is refusing to accept the outcomes and could attempt to alter registered delegates.
  • Official acts from committee members report Chávez led the nonbinding consulta and that his slate holds 60 of 75 delegates with roughly 49% support.
  • Chávez has asked ONPE and JNE to safeguard the delegate list for Sunday’s vote, warning about possible substitutions and noting the committee president’s unexplained absence.
  • Delegates elected on Nov. 30 are set to choose the party’s 2026 presidential candidate on Dec. 7, and the allegations of fraud or substitutions remain unproven.
