Peru Electoral Panel Finds Governor César Acuña Violated Neutrality at Huancayo Rally

The ruling underscores a nationwide neutrality crackdown ahead of the April 2026 vote.

Overview

  • The JEE of Huancayo declared that César Acuña engaged in proselytism for Alianza para el Progreso during a Sept. 20 event in the Plaza Huamanmarca.
  • The resolution orders Acuña to refrain from repeating the conduct under threat of a public admonition and a fine to his party if he reoffends.
  • The case file was sent to the Comptroller General and the La Libertad regional government for potential administrative action.
  • Acuña now accumulates multiple neutrality findings from JEE panels in Chiclayo, Huancayo and Tumbes, reflecting repeated determinations against his dual role as governor and party leader.
  • RPP reports seven authorities have been found in breach this year and identifies 78 under investigation nationwide, with recent rulings also naming Lima Mayor Rafael López Aliaga, Callao Mayor Pedro Spadaro, Podemos Perú leader José Luna Gálvez and the Huancayo tax chief.
