Peru electoral body bars APP candidate for Satipo mayor over suspended sentence

Peru's National Elections Jury (JNE) excluded Iván Roger Cisneros Quispe of Alianza por el Progreso from the 2026 municipal race for Satipo province due to a suspended 4-year prison sentence for incompatible negotiation. The ruling removes a candidate from the ballot, reflecting judicial scrutiny of political eligibility. The decision is final unless appealed, and its impact is limited to the local race.
