CPP Taps Morgan Quero as Presidential Precandidate as Expert Flags Eligibility Hurdle

Overview

• Morgan Quero was named by Ciudadanos por el Perú as the lead on a preliminary presidential ticket, followed by party secretary general Alberto Moreno and Melanie Herrera.
• Moreno said both he and Quero will also run for the National Senate, with Herrera heading to the deputies list for Lima provinces.
• The party emphasized the ticket is provisional and subject to a delegates’ plenary and subsequent rules set by the JNE and ONPE.
• Electoral specialist José Tello warned Quero’s presidential bid could be deemed inadmissible due to affiliation timing he says falls outside the window for primaries, a matter the Special Electoral Jury would assess before any JNE review.
• Moreno denied any organizational link to Nicanor Boluarte as prosecutors investigate the 'Los Waykis en la Sombra' case tied to CPP’s registration, and he welcomed the possibility of Dina Boluarte returning to politics after her lawyer said she is evaluating it.
