El Jurado Electoral Especial de Trujillo emitió una resolución en la que declaró que el gobernador de La Libertad infringió la neutralidad electoral.
Autoridades vulneraron neutralidad electoral. Además, en sus descargos negaron los hechos.

Overview

  • Citing an Oct. 2 video posted to his Facebook and TikTok accounts, the JEE de Trujillo found the La Libertad governor used an official act to promote APP, declaring it the “best option” for congressional seats.
  • Resolution N.° 00278-2025-JEE-TRUJ/JNE, dated Oct. 9, orders referrals to the Ministerio Público, the Contraloría and the La Libertad Regional Council, and formally exhorts strict neutrality.
  • The video referenced by the JEE was later removed from Acuña’s social media, according to coverage that accessed the case file.
  • Reporting notes five firm neutrality infractions and 14 open investigative files tied to Acuña’s conduct, while he argued to the JEE that his remarks were spontaneous and not proselitist.
  • In a separate ruling (N.° 00291-2025-JEE-TRUJ/JNE), the panel also found the Yonán mayor and a Víctor Larco regidora breached neutrality during a Somos Perú event, with copies sent to prosecutors and auditors.
