Overview

  • An Ipsos survey places Mario Vizcarra in second place with 7%, tied with Keiko Fujimori, marking a sharp climb in voter intention.
  • In a separate IEP/La República reading, he is reported near 9.8%, outperforming Rafael López Aliaga and Fujimori in that snapshot of preferences.
  • Martín Vizcarra, who holds three congressional disqualifications from public office, has resumed frequent campaign-style events and now appears regularly alongside his brother.
  • Mario Vizcarra holds a formal role in Perú Primero as a member of its National Political Commission since June 22, 2025, following his party affiliation on July 11, 2024.
  • The Tacna anti-corruption office maintains a preliminary probe linking him to the ‘Los saqueadores de Ilabaya’ case, and press reports have alleged irregular benefits and overpricing tied to associates and family companies.
