Overview
- Lima’s JEE Lima Centro 2 admitted a tacha against APRA’s entire Senate list after a complaint by party member Edwin Briceño alleging internal selection irregularities and unlawful substitutions.
- The tribunal reversed an initial inadmissibility tied to per-candidate fees and gave APRA’s legal representative one day to file a defense.
- APRA candidate Jorge del Castillo downplayed the risk to the full slate, saying any challenge targets only two names, though the JEE resolution frames the objection as affecting the whole list.
- In Cusco, the JEE declared the candidacy of Congressman Luis Aragón (Avanza País) improper, citing lack of a valid direct designation act, a conflicting replacement act, and an authorization signed by an Acción Popular representative without the required powers.
- The Cusco ruling also excluded Karerina Bayona and Milton Pechuga over missing filings, partially admitted the list by keeping candidates in positions 1, 2 and 6, and ordered publication to start the tacha period, as separate JEE reviews in regions like Arequipa flag additional candidate inconsistencies.
