Peru Election Rulings Bar Mario Vizcarra From Senate as José Williams Proceeds and José Murgia Is Reinstated

The rulings showcase strict enforcement of eligibility laws under tight appeal windows to the JNE.

Overview

  • JEE Lima Centro 2 declared Mario Vizcarra’s Senate bid improcedente due to a firm peculado conviction, applying Article 113 of the electoral law and Article 34‑A of the Constitution.
  • The same resolution also removed Adela Yrene Córdova from the Perú Primero list for lacking a required unpaid-leave filing, while admitting the remainder of the slate.
  • JEE Lima Centro 1 rejected a tacha against Avanza País presidential nominee José Williams, finding no exclusion cause but ordering his DJHV to correct income and pension details by year.
  • These JEE decisions can be appealed to the Jurado Nacional de Elecciones, which will act as the final administrative instance on the challenges.
  • Separately, the JNE upheld José Murgia’s appeal and overturned a JEE‑Trujillo ruling on his nationality status, restoring his Senate candidacy for the PAP.
