Peru 2026 regional and municipal election preparations

Overview

The National Jury of Elections (JNE) in Peru established a timeline for the 2026 regional and municipal elections, setting an August 5 deadline for candidate resignations and withdrawals. This process allows electoral jurors to evaluate the remaining candidacies before final lists are declared in September.

During this period, controversy arose in Lima regarding a resignation by candidate Luis Rubio Idrogo. The JNE is examining whether his resignation was a strategic maneuver to allow Rafael López Aliaga to assume the mayoralty by being listed as the first councilor on the ticket.
