Venceremos Picks Ronald Atencio as Presidential Pre-Candidate After Delegate Vote

ONPE rules leave the winning slate fixed, pairing Atencio with Elena Rivera Huamán plus Alberto Quintanilla.

Overview

  • Seventy delegates voted in the internal assembly, giving the Atencio–Rivera–Quintanilla ticket 39 votes over 31 for Vicente Alanoca.
  • Ronald Atencio leads the alliance’s presidential slate with Elena Rivera Huamán for first vice presidency and Alberto Quintanilla for second, a formula the rules do not allow to be altered.
  • Vicente Alanoca rejected the outcome on social media, alleging discriminatory practices, while Atencio said the ticket cannot be modified and suggested Alanoca could seek a Senate bid from Puno.
  • Nuevo Perú’s leader Verónika Mendoza said her party will respect the alliance decision and support Atencio’s candidacy.
  • Venceremos introduced Jaime Laos as campaign chief, with allied groups participating in the assembly and affirming the process as legitimate.
