JNE Issues Mayoral Credential to Renzo Reggiardo, Formalizing Lima Succession

Electoral monitors are probing alleged neutrality breaches tied to official events, including municipal social media activity.

Overview

  • Peru’s electoral authority issued the credential on October 16, confirming Renzo Reggiardo to complete Lima’s 2023–2026 municipal term after Rafael López Aliaga resigned.
  • By law the resignation took immediate effect on October 13, and as first regidor and teniente alcalde, Reggiardo assumed the mayoral functions pending formal credentialing.
  • The JNE also granted a regidor credential to Cristian Santiago Góngora Chu to restore the full membership of the Metropolitan Council.
  • A JEE Lima Centro 1 fiscalization report (No. 808-2025) cites potential neutrality violations at the October 12 ‘Rendición de Cuentas 2025’ event, noting “Porky” slogans, orchestrated chants, staged participation of minors, and stage visuals in Renovación Popular’s blue.
  • The JEE separately reports (No. 804-2025) that municipal manager Isabel Ayala allegedly promoted Renovación Popular via TikTok, with both matters classified as developing investigations.
