Overview
- APP confirmed the No. 5 spot on its national Senate list is reserved for an invited candidate and remains under evaluation.
- Luis Valdez said former minister Juan José Santiváñez is the leading option but stressed his nomination is not official.
- The party’s committee will decide after reviewing profiles, trajectory and potential political effects before registration deadlines.
- Santiváñez faces a fiscal probe for alleged influence peddling and an 18‑month bar on leaving Peru, which APP downplays as preliminary or partly archived.
- The Senate slate already names Marisol Espinoza at No. 2, César Vásquez at No. 3 and Lady Camones at No. 4.
