Overview

• Attorney General Delia Espinoza filed a request to the Supreme Court’s Constitutional and Social Law Chamber to declare Fuerza Popular illegal, cancel its registration, and exclude it from the 2026 elections.
• The filing invokes Article 14 of the Law of Political Organizations and alleges systematic violations of fundamental rights, efforts to undermine elected authorities, and links to violent groups such as La Resistencia.
• Prosecutors also request the closure of all party premises nationwide and a permanent prohibition on any future re‑registration.
• Renovación Popular and Alianza para el Progreso issued communiqués rejecting attempts to exclude parties from the ballot, arguing voters must choose freely and that any proscription requires unequivocal proof.
• The Prime Minister’s office criticized the move as overreach and Fuerza Popular’s Luis Galarreta called it political, with the dispute now pending a court decision.
