Overview
- The municipal count on Friday, October 9, 2026, showed Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores winning 229 of 663 valid ballots, a 34.5% share that narrowly beat Gaspar Benilde Osorio Zambrano who received 204 votes.
- Simeón Flores ran for the center-left group Ahora Nación and is reported to work in the private sector as director of an investment group called Simeon SAC in Pillco Marca.
- Queropalca is a very small Andean district of roughly 730 residents, so low absolute vote totals produced a close numerical margin that nevertheless reflects a small electorate.
- Peruvian outlets noted this outcome follows past cases in which locally elected officials have carried historically charged names, a pattern linked to naming practices rather than explicit ideological alignment with the figures those names evoke.
- Official results still require proclamation by the electoral authority and the race has drawn broad media and social-media attention that has largely focused on the candidate's name rather than his policy platform or plans for local governance.
