The political parties refine their internal rules for elections primaries in 2026 and, in some cases, the registration of pre-candidates will imply mandatory financial contributions.
Podemos Perú established a payment of S/ 37,450 for those seeking to compete in Lima and S/ 26,750 for applicants from regions. Thus he was able to verify Peru21.
Lima councilor Aaron Espinoza told Infobae that it is not a charge for a number on the list, but rather a contribution approved in the party congress “to promote the party and cover the expenses of the internal process.”
THE PURPLE PARTY
In the Purple Party, the amounts vary depending on the position sought, as shown in the document we attach to this note.
The tariff of the Purple National Electoral Body for the 2026 primary elections establishes that the presidential ticket must pay S/ 1,800, while individual candidacies for the Senate will have a cost of S/ 450, those for Deputy S/ 300 and those for the Andean Parliament S/ 200. All payments are non-refundable.
In accordance with the purple electoral directive, applicants must present an affidavit and proof of payment to ensure the traceability of contributions.
The president of the party told Infobae Peru that these funds are deposited in the private contribution account of the Banco de la Nación and are used exclusively for the registration process with the electoral authorities, emphasizing that the organization “does not have owners or financiers.”
The JNE schedule establishes that on November 30 the delegates will be elected and the primary vote will be held. On December 7, these delegates will define the candidates of each party.
Podemos Perú presents a single plan headed by José Luna, accompanied by Cecilia García and Raúl Nobecilla.
In the Purple Party, on the other hand, three candidates will compete: Mesías Guevara, Richard Arce and Andrés Quiroz.
