Overview
- Organizers confirmed that Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular), César Acuña (APP) and Carlos Álvarez (País para Todos) declined the CADE Ejecutivos electoral block set for November 4–6 in Lima.
- Fuerza Popular cited scheduling conflicts and an unfinished internal nomination process, APP pointed to prior commitments, and Álvarez rejected the forum as an elitist event disconnected from everyday realities.
- The debate lineup now features Rafael López Aliaga (Renovación Popular), Mario Vizcarra (Perú Primero) and Alfonso López Chau (Ahora Nación), with President José Jerí slated to open the forum and Congress chief Fernando Rospigliosi moderating a panel.
- A late-October CIT/Opinión & Mercado poll places López Aliaga at 15.3%, with Álvarez at 7.2% edging past Fujimori at 6.1%, while 22.2% remain undecided and 13.8% indicate blank or null preferences.
- The Constitutional Court ordered the fiscal accusation in the 'cocktails case' against Fujimori and her party set aside on legal grounds without declaring innocence, as prosecutors separately investigate alleged Frigoinca transfers to Óscar Acuña and other officials.
