The Special Electoral Jury (JEE) Lima Norte 1 would have acted incorrectly by declaring the nullity of the elections in Puente Piedra, because it took into account a precautionary measure that is unenforceable as it was presented five days before the elections because the electoral schedule cannot be modified.
In addition, it did not take into account the technical report of the JNE that dismissed the arguments of the request for annulment and the plaintiff Milton Jiménez (Popular Renovation) is prevented from applying because he has a consent sentence for embezzlement, reason for which he was excluded from previous electoral processes and will not be able to apply again in the future.
This was stated by the specialist in electoral issues Jose Tello, who considered that the JNE must declare the validity of the results in Puente Piedra and reject the pronouncement of the JEE of North Lima 1.
Tello is a lawyer for the candidate in Popular Renewal in Lince; however, he maintains that in the case of Stone bridge the JEE Lima Norte 1 has no arguments to request the annulment of the elections. “It has no basis and the JNE must revoke it. That nullity does not have to be given, it is nonsense, ”he pointed out.
About, the winner of the elections in that district, Renán Espinoza (Somos Perú), He maintained that today (Sunday) they will appeal the decision of the JEE Lima Norte 1 and “the safest thing is that the hearing of the case will be scheduled on Friday and the JNE will make a decision declaring the validity of the electoral process.”
He added that Milton Jiménez is still excluded from the elections because there is no court order that authorizes it and “if there is a new election, I would not be able to apply.”
They warn prevaricatory behavior
For Renan Espinoza, the president of the Special Electoral Jury of Lima Norte 1, David Lecaros “would be committing prevarication by declaring the nullity of the electoral process without any support.” He recalled that when Lecaros was president of the Liquidating Chamber that sentenced Jiménez in 2017, his vote was the only one in favor of his acquittal.
