Lima Court Rejects JNE Move to Suspend Unión Popular Case, Says TC Order Doesn’t Stop Appeal

The ruling keeps the appellate review active in a registration dispute that could affect access to Peru’s 2026 ballot.

8 meses de paralización en el JNE, … sí importa por Marianella Ledesma
PJ desacata orden del TC: declara improcedente pedido del JNE de anular inscripción del partido de Duberlí Rodríguez

Overview

  • The Primera Sala Constitucional of Lima declared inadmissible the JNE’s nullity request and refused to suspend proceedings in the Unión Popular case.
  • Judges held that the Constitutional Court’s precautionary measure only paused the effects of certain first‑instance rulings and did not halt the second‑instance process.
  • The JNE maintains the Sala is ignoring a binding TC mandate and has filed criminal complaints against the chamber’s members.
  • The case centers on the registration of Unión Popular, led by former judiciary chief Duberlí Rodríguez, and its eligibility to participate in the 2026 elections.
  • Reporting and commentary highlight pre‑electoral stakes and note allegations of prolonged administrative delays at the JNE in processing party inscriptions.
