Overview
- Colchado announced on RPP that he is leaving attempts to return to the police and will seek a congressional seat in the 2026 general elections.
- He said he is still choosing a political vehicle and noted past collaboration with Ahora Nación and Libertad Popular while keeping other options open.
- He argued that the current legislature has approved “pro-crime” measures, citing debt relief for large companies, nepotism, salary increases, and disputed appointments to top judicial bodies.
- The retired colonel led high-profile investigations as head of Diviac and was dismissed in December 2024 after a raid tied to a prosecutor’s inquiry into then-president Dina Boluarte.
- He criticized the shift of Diviac functions to Dirincri as retaliatory, alleging a scheme linked by the press to the group known as Los Waykis en la sombra.
