Joseph Williams, President of the Congress, ordered this Monday that the session of the plenary session of Parliament resume only tomorrow, starting at 11:00 am, to return to discussing the progress of the elections. Since there is no consensus between the benches, on Tuesday it will be necessary to determine whether the project is completed.
Before the session was adjourned, a minimum of 66 votes had been reached to advance the general election, which was to be debated again in the midst of a big debate among lawmakers. The left-wing benches of Renovación Popular and Acción Popular voted against the revision.
Early Saturday morning parliament rejected the initiative early election this year with 45 votes in favour, 65 against and two abstentions.
Because it was a modification of the Constitution, the proposal required 87 votes in two legislatures, or 66 votes ratified in a referendum.
The opinion presented by the head of the Constitutional Commission, Hernando Guerra Garcia, stated that President Dina Boluarte’s term of office would end on December 31, 2023, and her successor would take office from the first day of 2024 until July 28, 2029.
Dina Boluarte demands from Congress
President of the Republic Dina Boluarte announced this Sunday that if there is no consensus in Congress to hold elections, the executive branch will submit two legislative initiatives for constitutional reform so that general elections can be held this year.
The president’s announcement came a day after violent protests that left a man dead in central Lima. The head of state criticized parliament for not approving early elections despite the citizenship announcement.
Regarding his bill, he argued that elections would be held on the second Sunday in October, which would shorten the terms of the executive, the Congress, and the Andean Parliament.
“It is envisaged that the President of the Republic calls the general elections for the second Sunday in October 2023. Congress may enact other laws necessary to hold the 2023 general elections before February 28 of this year, without applying the time limit provided for in Article 4 of the Organic Electoral Law,” he added.
