Political candidates announce local leadership bids in Peru and Colombia

In Peru, Miller Fabián Jara, a lawyer and sports leader, has announced his candidacy for the district mayoralty of Amarilis under the Ahora Nación party. His platform focuses on modernizing citizen security through intelligent surveillance cameras and updated patrol vehicles, improving rural-urban road integration, and addressing sanitation gaps. Jara, who has held various technical and advisory roles in regional municipalities, intends to fund public services and waste management through municipal revenue and transfers rather than bank loans.

In Colombia, lawyer Abraham Antonio Katime Orcasita is preparing to run in the Pacto Histórico consultation to determine the party's candidate for the 2027 Santa Marta mayoral race. Formerly associated with Fuerza Ciudadana, Katime has previously served as a campaign manager for Patricia Caicedo and Rafael Martínez. He plans to participate in the selection process scheduled for April and May 2027.
