Peru Judge Orders Provisional Halt to Ahora Nación’s Internal Primary Process

Party leaders say they have not been formally notified, rendering an order over a concluded delegates vote inapplicable.

Elecciones 2026: Poder Judicial resuelve suspender elecciones internas del partido Ahora Nación
Pleno del Congreso aprueba ampliar el periodo de afiliación para las Elecciones Regionales y Municipales 2026. Foro: ONPE Oficial
Ahora Nación señala que aún no ha sido notificada sobre la posible suspensión de sus elecciones internas

Overview

  • The Civil Court of La Merced issued Resolution No. 01 to suspend Ahora Nación’s internal electoral acts and ordered its electoral tribunal to stop advancing procedures.
  • The ruling responds to an amparo by militants Nilton Meza Franco and Geraldine Ponce Llanos, who allege the convocation and calendar were not properly publicized, blocking their participation.
  • The judge cited indicia of harm and lack of proof of adequate notice to affiliates and warned that disobeying the order could trigger criminal liability.
  • Ahora Nación says any effect requires formal service via an exhorto to Lima and argues the measure targets a stage that precluded on November 30, with the next step on December 7 under ONPE.
  • The party’s national committee calls the suspension legally inapplicable to completed acts and urges adherence to the JNE electoral calendar as the procedural dispute over enforceability remains unresolved.
