JNE Begins Appeals on 2026 Candidacies, Restores Primero La Gente’s Presidential Ticket

Live‑streamed rulings now shape the ballot under a tight March registration deadline.

Overview

  • The JNE held its first virtual hearing on Jan. 8 at 4 p.m., reviewing 16 cases elevated by JEEs from Lima Centro 1, Lima Oeste 3, Huaura, Huánuco, Ica, Pasco, Coronel Portillo, Trujillo and Huancavelica.
  • The electoral court declared founded Primero La Gente’s appeal, reversing a JEE ruling that rejected its ticket over timing, after the party cited failures in the Declara+ digital signature system.
  • The JEE of Lima Centro 1 deemed inadmissible—for now—the appeal seeking to revive a tacha against Renovación Popular’s Rafael López Aliaga because the appellant underpaid the S/1,650 fee; a one‑day window was granted to correct it.
  • Perú Primero’s Mario Vizcarra appealed JEE decisions that excluded him over a recorded conviction for peculado, with the JNE facing a three‑day legal window to decide once it receives the case file.
  • The JEE of Lima Oeste 3 declared APRA’s Lima deputies list inadmissible over list changes and documentation issues, including candidates with recorded sentences, granting two days to cure the defects, while ONPE set the national members‑of‑mesa draw for Jan. 29 to select about 842,000 citizens.
