Overview
- JNE, which published Resolution No. 0529-2026-JNE on Saturday in El Peruano, confirmed a 33 UIT fine and a 10% cut to Fuerza Popular’s public party funding and closed the administrative process.
- ONPE’s audit found the party used state funds in the second half of 2023 for turkey vouchers, holiday baskets, branded shirts and bottles, trophies, and a 360° platform, and the JNE rejected Martha Chávez’s appeal and called the breach very serious.
- Reports value the 33 UIT fine between S/163,350 and S/181,500 because outlets used different UIT reference years to convert the units to soles.
- Keiko Fujimori said the party will file new legal actions to contest the sanction after the electoral court upheld ONPE’s decision.
- Public financing in Peru is meant for party training, research, and information efforts, and recent citizen videos at a The Killers concert in Lima showed activists handing out shirts for a Fuerza Popular candidate, intensifying scrutiny of promotional giveaways.
