The vast majority, just over 94%, did so until December 23, the legal deadline for a militant to resign from his or her group and be authorized to run for another as a guest or appointee in next year’s elections.
The most affected party was Alianza para el Progreso (APP), chaired by the governor of La Libertad, Cesar Acuna. In his case, he lost 79 members. One of them was Hermenegildo Navarro Castro, current provincial mayor of Chanchamayo (Junín), who left the ranks of the group on December 5.
Outside the deadline, the number of renounced APEP militants continues to grow. On January 2, the mayor of the Lima district of Magdalena, Francis Allisonsent a brief letter to Acuña informing of his resignation without giving further details. In June of last year, Allison had mentioned that Acuña asked him to be APP’s candidate for mayor of Lima in 2026.
The party mentioned that, in recent weeks, APP began an “internal evaluation process to define possible candidates in the next municipal elections in Lima.” In this scenario, they indicate, former congressman Richard Acuña was considered as a possible candidate for the metropolitan race, after an internal election, which, according to what they suggest, would have displeased Allison.
