Rafael López Aliaga, a former presidential candidate in Peru, has renewed his accusations of electoral fraud and threatened to dismantle the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) and the National Jury of Elections (JNE). He alleges significant irregularities in the recent elections, though no evidence has been presented to substantiate these claims. López Aliaga stated that Peru is a “global embarrassment” due to the electoral bodies’ actions. As a form of protest against the election results, he has also affirmed he will not assume his recently won senate seat. This stance escalates tensions surrounding the legitimacy of the elections and raises concerns about potential instability within Peru’s democratic institutions. His statements have drawn criticism from various political actors who defend the integrity of the electoral process.
