Renovación Popular busca revertir decisión del JNE que impide a alcaldes volver al cargo tras elecciones
The Popular Renovation alliance has filed a request with the National Electoral Jury. The petition asks the full panel to overturn a decision supported by three of its five magistrates. The contested decision prevents mayors from seeking re‑election after a vote. As an alternative, the alliance wants the restriction to be excluded from the 2026 municipal elections. It proposes that the rule only apply to later electoral cycles. The filing aims to restore the ability of incumbents to run again.
La alianza electoral presentó un recurso para que el Pleno del Jurado Nacional de Elecciones revoque el criterio aprobado por tres de sus cinco magistrados. Como pedido alternativo, solicita que la restricción no se aplique a las Elecciones Municipales 2026, sino a los siguientes procesos electorales.
