A similar situation occurred in Ahomawhere is the only candidate Renzo Paco Oscar from I am Arequipa, received 379 votes, but 275 votes did not vote and another 142 did not vote. What happens in this scenario since there are more empty and invalid votes than the votes received by both candidates?

“These by-elections are prescribed by law on the first Sunday of June of the next year. That is, it will be July 2, 2023. What are we going to do with this municipality? going to manage? Who will lead the municipality? The current mayor will remain until there is a new mayor, he will renew his mandate,” he told RPP Noticias.
