Lima mayoral race unresolved as JNE fails to rule on re-election legality
La República (Peru)LO·PE·2 days ago
Lima mayor Renzo Reggiardo publicly questioned the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) and the National Jury of Elections (JNE) after a technical tie in municipal elections, calling for a state of emergency. He nonetheless committed to recognizing the final result. This is a notable political challenge to Peru's electoral institutions, though it stops short of rejecting the outcome.
