The presidential candidate for Peru First, Mario Vizcarra, He spoke out after the declaration of fault founded in the first instance against his application. This case is in the hands of the Plenary of the National Election Jury (JNE) in the appeal phase and will be heard today alongside similar disputes from other parties.
Vizcarra, upon entering the JNE headquarters, stated that his candidacy is being subject to an “attack” and demanded that the highest electoral body adhere to the law to allow his participation in the 2026 general elections.
“We are not going to allow one more outrage. The elections, the game is won on the field, let us compete,” declared the former president.
The now leader of Perú Primero asserted that the attempts to remove him from the electoral race are based on “false arguments,” and questioned the legal validity of the impediment applied against him.
“In Peru there is no such thing as perpetual disqualification, enough of the false arguments, of trying to lower us, of removing us from the electoral race,” Vizcarra emphasized.
The candidate claimed to be in possession of the documentation that supports his position, declaring that they are bringing “clear, precise and forceful documentation that we are right.”
The brother of former president Martín Vizcarra made a direct call to the judges of the Plenary of the JNE to revoke the first instance decision.
“We trust that the National Election Jury will put on its pants and finally give a verdict favorable to us. The people ask for it, the people demand it and let us apply. We are here,” he concluded.
Vizcarra’s appeal is one of the files that the JNE will begin to review in public hearings scheduled for today at 4:00 p.m.
