It is worth mentioning that the complainants held a conference last Sunday, March 13, where they presented videos and documentation to the National Committee for APwhich would prove that Malcolm Durand, Manuel Encalada and Marco Asunción “did not meet the Popular Action status to continue in a political career” for the next Regional and Municipal Elections 2022.
In this sense, Jorge Morales, legal representative of the list headed by Cumpa, confirmed that the three aforementioned candidates were admitted by the Departmental Committee of Callao, “even though they do not meet these requirements”.
According to Morales, Malcolm Durand ran for Congress in 2021 with the number 3 with Somos Perú and resigned from said organization in October 2021. “Then, he wanted to join another party and campaigned in violation of the norm,” he said.
