• Somos Perú said it will not extend invitations to outside figures for the presidential or vice-presidential slots, framing the ticket as an internal decision.
• Regional governors Werner Salcedo and Jorge Pérez were considered, but their failure to resign before the JNE cutoff removed them from contention.
• Forsyth previously served as mayor of La Victoria and ran for president in 2021 with Victoria Nacional, finishing eighth before that party was dissolved for missing the electoral threshold.
