Peruvian congressman seeks to cancel fraudulent parties' registration

A Peruvian congressman proposed a bill to cancel the registration of political parties that used fraudulent signatures to register. This aims to ensure fair elections in 2026. The bill, introduced by Luis Aragón, would amend the Political Organizations Law to allow the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status and the National Elections Jury to verify signatures. It targets at least 20 parties suspected of using fake signatures. The proposed law includes a provision to cancel a party's registration if 10% of its submitted signatures are found invalid. This measure seeks to prevent fraudulent parties from participating in the upcoming elections.
