Overview
- JEE Lima Centro 1 declared founded the tachas against José Williams of Avanza País over alleged inconsistencies in his sworn profile, including reported public income and benefits.
- Avanza País acknowledged a material filing error, submitted corrections to the record, and prepared its appeal of the JEE decision.
- The same panel previously upheld three tachas against Mario Vizcarra after he disclosed a past peculado conviction for which he has been rehabilitated.
- Perú Primero appealed Vizcarra’s case to the JNE, invoking 2025 Constitutional Tribunal rulings that favor allowing rehabilitated candidates to run.
- Under electoral law, the JNE has three calendar days to resolve each appeal, and both candidates remain in the race unless the second instance confirms their exclusion.
