Overview
- The Lima Centro 2 Special Electoral Jury declared inadmissible the inscription of ten Peru Primero candidates for the national Senate list after detecting substantive and formal problems.
- Mario Vizcarra’s filing was observed because his sworn life‑record declaration reports a 2005 peculado conviction with sentence served, which the jury cited in its resolution.
- The party has two calendar days to correct the observed defects or the inscription will be ruled improper and the list will be rejected.
- Perú21 reports two admitted tachas against Vizcarra based on the same conviction that, if upheld by electoral authorities, could remove his candidacy and potentially the entire list.
- Constitutional Court president Luz Pacheco stated that legal restrictions on candidacies for those convicted of corruption remain in force and must be applied by electoral bodies.
