Mexico's Top Electoral Court Nullifies Tamiahua Vote and Upholds Jáltipan Result as Peru Court Keeps Fuerza Popular Registered

An extraordinary election must now be organized in Tamiahua under binding TEPJF orders.

Overview

  • The TEPJF unanimously voided PVEM candidate Citlali Medellín’s win in Tamiahua after the INE found a 63.73% overspend and judges inferred intentional concealment of expenses.
  • Veracruz’s Congress and finance office were instructed to fund and enable an extraordinary municipal election, displacing earlier regional criteria that had left the result standing.
  • In Jáltipan, the tribunal reversed a nullification and confirmed MC’s Gildardo Maldonado, finding that isolated online content, including an AI‑altered video, did not prove systematic or determinative gender‑based political violence.
  • In Peru, JEE Lima Centro 1 ruled Primero La Gente’s presidential slate inadmissible for late filing; the party says Declara+ and digital‑signature failures impeded timely submission and that appeals require S/2,000 per list to reach the JNE.
  • The JNE reported 15 presidential formulas formally registered, including Somos Perú, and the Supreme Court rejected the Fiscalía’s bid to cancel Fuerza Popular’s legal registration.
