Overview

• the Huancayo ruling ordered him not to repeat such acts, warned of a possible public admonition and fines for APP upon recurrence, and referred the case to the Contraloría and the La Libertad regional government.
• A prior decision from the JEE of Chiclayo on September 21 concluded he breached neutrality in proselitist activities in Piura, remitting that case to the Public Ministry, the Contraloría, and the La Libertad Regional Council under the neutrality regulation.
• APP spokesperson Eduardo Salhuana said Acuña is expected to resign before the October 13 legal deadline to pursue the presidency, a plan the party has publicly signaled though not formally announced by Acuña.
• Separate Contraloría reports flag serious irregularities in regional contracts exceeding S/315 million, notably the Trujillo–Huanchaco road and the Virú hospital, alongside criticism of low security budget execution reported at about 12% with more than S/50 million unspent.
