Federico Danton Reappears to Endorse Sister Carla García During APRA Primaries

The vote marks APRA's attempt to rejoin Peru's 2026 race following its 2021 deregistration.

Overview

  • Danton posted a video on Nov. 30 praising Carla García's campaign focus on joy and unity and wishing success to party voters.
  • It was his first public message since April 2023, when he last spoke about his father's death and his relationship with APRA.
  • Carla García is the first-vice-presidential precandidate on the Popular y provinciana slate led by Javier Velásquez Quesquén with Luis Wilson as second-vice-presidential hopeful.
  • APRA held internal elections on Nov. 30 to pick its presidential ticket for the 2026 general election after its 2021 loss of registration kept it out of the last cycle.
  • Peru's electoral authority said APRA must reach at least 10% affiliate participation in the primaries to remain eligible for 2026 ballots.
