Through a public pronouncement, signed by its general secretary Luis Galarreta, the political group people force asked the Congress of the republic to approve the early elections for this year.
The document specifies that the advance proposal for the general elections was formulated in a timely manner by the president of the Constitution Commission, Hernando Guerra García, and supported before the Plenary.
“In response to the concern of the electoral bodies, the date of the electoral act was defined as December 2023,” he adds.
However, recalls the group that submitted to a vote, the project only achieved the support of 49 legislators and adds that unlike “the left-wing benches that today hypocritically claim the advance for this year,” Fuerza Popular unanimously endorsed the request. . Despite this, remember, only 49 votes were reached.

“The Fuerza Popular party, given that those who did not vote in favor of the 2023 advance, demanded urgent constitutional reforms, agreed to vote for an advance in 2024. Today it is clear, once again, that the double discourse of the left seeks to lead us to the chaos in the country demanding on the one hand time for the reforms and on the other the early elections”, he indicates.
In this context, the group led by Keiko Fujimori adds that “the left’s slogan is to sabotage the constitutional reforms that they seek to approve”, and points out that, in this scenario, what corresponds is to resume the initial idea that the elections generals take place this year.
