Overview
- The Jurado Nacional de Elecciones asked the Fiscalía de la Nación to open a preliminary investigation for alleged disobedience and resistance to authority under Penal Code Article 368.
- The complaint names judges Oswaldo Ordóñez Alcántara, Andrés Tapia Gonzales and Bacilio Cueva Chauca of the First Constitutional Chamber of the Lima Superior Court.
- JNE says the judges continued processing rulings tied to the Unidad Popular registration despite a Constitutional Court precautionary measure issued on October 7.
- The Constitutional Court’s order suspended the effects of judicial decisions enabling Unidad Popular’s inscription and barred new rulings that could affect the April 2026 election timetable.
- The prosecutorial decision on whether to open a case is pending, and the broader jurisdictional dispute between the JNE and the judiciary remains before the Constitutional Court.
