- The panel flagged Mario Vizcarra’s own disclosure of a firm 2005 peculado conviction and requested documentation to verify his current legal status.
- Officials also cited missing fingerprints and signatures on consent forms, incomplete entries on posts sought or dates, and absent unpaid-leave paperwork for public employees including Mirian Morales, Juan Escriba and Adela Córdova.
- Separate tachas have been admitted seeking to exclude Mario Vizcarra from the presidential race on the grounds that his peculado conviction disqualifies him under electoral law.
- Peru Primero has promoted Mario using Martín Vizcarra’s image, as reports highlight that hundreds of candidates with final criminal sentences are seeking office in the 2026 elections; Mario asserts the Constitutional Tribunal removed any impediment to his bid.
