Overview
- JEE Lima Centro 1 issued a March 20 resolution voiding the PTE formula after officially confirming the death of Napoleón Becerra.
- Becerra died on March 15, 2026 in a traffic accident in Huancavelica, with a severe traumatic brain injury listed as the cause.
- The party’s request to have a vice-presidential nominee assume the presidency was rejected as legally inadmissible because succession is not permitted after registration.
- The decision stipulates that any votes cast for the PTE presidential list will not be counted once the ruling is final, with ONPE tasked to apply it.
- The slate had been approved in early January, and formal notification of the ruling to the party’s legal representative makes its exclusion operational.
