Lima Constitutional Chamber Rejects JNE Move to Freeze Unidad Popular Appeal Again

The judges say the TC order only covered first‑instance effects, not the ongoing appeal.

PJ desacata orden del TC: declara improcedente pedido del JNE de anular inscripción del partido de Duberlí Rodríguez

Overview

  • In Resolution No. 09 of case file 06374-2025, the First Constitutional Chamber in Lima declared the JNE’s nullity request inadmissible and declined to suspend the case tied to Unidad Popular’s registration.
  • The panel reiterates that the Constitutional Tribunal did not order a halt to the second‑instance proceedings and grounds its stance in judicial independence under Article 139.
  • The JNE maintains the TC’s precautionary measure is binding and had sought to stop the appeal, and it has filed criminal complaints against the chamber’s magistrates following the new ruling.
  • Judge Tapia Gonzales warns of undue interference and suggests possible referral to the UN and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, while Judge Cueva Chauca stresses the TC measure only blocks certain first‑instance rulings.
  • The appeal over Unidad Popular’s inscription continues during a sensitive pre‑electoral period as party registration reviews proceed ahead of the 2026 vote.
