Peru urban, governance and election reform proposals

Overview

As the 2026 elections approach, political candidates in Peru are expanding on urban, security, and social reform proposals while facing increasing legal scrutiny. In Ventanilla, Luis Landauro of Somos Perú has proposed an ‘Attraction of Private Universities with Social Rates’ program. In Arequipa, Renzo Salas, the current mayor of Sachaca, is running for the Provincial Municipality of Arequipa amid allegations of harassment, which he denies. Other municipal platforms include Kazán Ocampo in José Luis Bustamante y Rivero, who proposed an eight-axis plan focusing on public security, and Renato Otiniano in Miraflores, who is campaigning on security and road maintenance. In Arequipa, a Platform for the Protection of Heritage, consisting of approximately 30 organizations, presented an agenda of 115 actions to protect the city’s culture and historical center. Supported by ICOMOS, the agenda includes 61 provincial and 54 regional proposals. Key provincial measures include a Multimodal Mobility Plan to expand pedestrian and bike lanes, removing overhead wiring, and developing a linear park along the Chili River urban basin. As the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) nears a 100% count of tally sheets in several Arequipa districts, the electoral landscape for the 2027-2030 period is emerging. In Cerro Colorado, Mirtha Mavel Ruelas Casillas of the Ahora Nación (AN) party is the virtual mayor with 30.5% of the votes. In the Yura district, Luis Javier Fuentes Salas of the Movimiento Regional Arequipa Avancemos is the virtual mayor with 21.084%. Regarding regional governance, the Arequipa Regional Council has announced its representative profiles for seven provinces. The ten-member council will include two former mayors, three former councilors, and five professionals, with representation distributed across Castilla, Caylloma, La Unión, Camaná, Caravelí, Condesuyos, and Islay.
