Overview
- The JNE Pleno rejected citizen appeals against Rafael López Aliaga and granted Perú Primero’s appeal, reversing a JEE ruling and keeping Mario Vizcarra in the race.
- The body said full written decisions laying out the legal grounds will be released soon and noted its rulings are final in the electoral system.
- A separate appeal on Vizcarra’s Senate bid was admitted by JEE Lima Centro 2 and sent to the JNE, which must hold a hearing and rule within three calendar days.
- Between 12 and 23 alliances filed to compete in the 2026 regional and municipal elections, according to differing reports, and DNROP has begun reviewing submissions with several observed for omissions.
- A JEE report flagged possible omissions in Carlos Álvarez’s disclosure related to a peculado case and gave his party one day to respond, and a tacha against an Aprista Senate candidate was rejected.
