The general elections in Peru, scheduled for April 12, will feature a total of 35 presidential candidates. This number has been reduced following the death of Napoleón Becerra, who was a candidate for the Workers and Entrepreneurs Party of Peru (PTE). His death occurred on March 15 due to a traffic accident in the Huancavelica region. Political organizations continue their campaigning activities in the final stage of the election, seeking to garner support from voters.
According to electoral law specialist José Manuel Villalobos, when a candidate withdraws from the race, their party is excluded from the electoral process. In addition to the presidential election, this process will determine the new composition of the bicameral Congress and the Andean Parliament. The election day will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., allowing citizens to exercise their right to vote at polling places nationwide.
