The president of the Constitution Committee and Peruvian congressman of Fuerza Popular, Hernando Guerra García, has presented this Thursday before Congress a proposal to bring forward the presidential elections to December 2023, instead of being held in April 2024.
«I request the reconsideration of the vote of the bill and a substitute text to 2023 (…) We are going to have elections in December 2023», said the legislator during his intervention when the Congress was debating the second vote of the electoral advance to 2024, as reported by RPP radio station.
Likewise, he recalled that the bench of Fuerza Popular, Keiko Fujimori’s party, had previously proposed that the elections be held in June 2023, a proposal that did not reach the votes at that time.
On the other hand, he has criticized the leftist benches on their positions regarding the advancement of elections to 2023. «The most curious thing is that this morning we heard several here who have started the day saying that they demand elections in 2023 and I have reviewed my list of those who voted against the advancement of elections,» Guerra García has criticized.
Hours earlier, Fuerza Popular has released a statement in which it has asked the plenary of Congress to advance elections to 2023.
«The Popular Force Party, taking into account that those who did not vote in favor of the advance to 2023 demand urgent constitutional reforms, agreed to vote for an advance to 2024. Today it is clear, once again, that the double discourse of the left seeks to lead us to chaos in the country, demanding on the one hand time for reforms and on the other hand the advancement of the elections», reads the letter from the Fujimori party.
