The Constitution Commission archived the project to advance the Executive elections

The Minister of Justice, José Tello, supported this afternoon before the Constitution Commission the bill to hold general elections for next October. He came to Parliament together with the heads of the JNE, ONPE and Reniec. However, minutes later, the proposal was rejected.

When asked if the resignation of the head of state was an option, Tello was blunt in stating that neither her head nor anyone from the Executive is making such a decision.

“The president has been quite clear that she is not going to resign. But you have to do a bit of memory to the month of December (2022), when many fellow journalists asked the same question: What would happen on stage if 87 votes were not reached (with the vacancy of Pedro Castillo)? And 91 was achieved, so I particularly consider that Congress has to seek its point of understanding and reach a consensus around that,” he responded to the press.
