Board of Directors 2024-2025: These are the moves for Congress' new leadership | Alejandro Soto | Popular Force | Popular Update APP | We are Peru Free Peru | principle

If we focus on the presidencies that Congress has had to date, legislative control has already been achieved in Acción Popular (MARIA DEL CARMEN ALVA2021-2022), Alliance for Progress (audited Lady Cammons2022), Avanza País (Jose Williams2022-2023) and back to APP (Alejandro Soto, 2023–2024). In that regard, it was his turn to lead Fuerza Popular, Renovación Popular or Somos Perú (away from the Podemos group).

Logic by numerical weight dictates that the 2024-2025 Board of Directors should be headed by Fuerza Popular (23 members). But this could represent a double-edged sword for the Fujimoristas in the run-up to the 2026 election. It is clear that Fujimorismo has already started the campaign and, little by little, is starting to gain technical ground. In the AFP funds' pension debate, they carry the banner of reform – albeit without success.

Along these lines, assuming the leadership of the Congress, where one assumes the responsibilities of all the benches, could affect Fujimori's image. Despite this, there is no dearth of names of possible candidates. People started shouting at 'Bangada' Patricia Juarez Y Arturo Alegria. The latter has the support of Luis Coloreta, the party's general secretary, while Juárez stands out for his political experience and legislative technique shown during his tenure as head of the Constitutional Commission, a far cry from the group proposed by Fujimorim today.

– They play their cards –

Jose Gerry, Young Member of Parliament We are Peru, has been keeping a low profile in the hope of not getting caught up in any controversy and in the hope of projecting himself as the President's face to the Parliament. From those around him, they felt that he could gain support from other groups because of his acceptance among his peers as he served as the chairman of the Budget Commission.

For its part, in Popular update Your speaker's name always comes up Jorge Montoya, who has already applied for the first year and is in the same list without success. Another name that emerged Alejandro Munantewho had already held the post of third vice-president.

The sources consulted admitted that they are looking for a new face, but with real experience, they feel that the current experience with Alejandro Soto is “not good”.

-Formula-

The federation is also analyzing possible formulas for securing votes for elections. One of the first determinations they make is whether to repeat the formula Free Peru (Today holds the post of Second Vice President). For Fujimorism, after all, this is not a good way for 2026.

For now, the first drafts of the formula propose resuming the original coalition with Podemos in 2021 with a bench of 10 votes. Therefore, the first proposed formula points to the presidency of Fuerza Popular with APP (first vice president), Avanza País (second vice president) and Podemos (third vice president). It is not ruled out that APP could head the list for the third time and again, as the bench has the greatest nexus with the executive branch.

The names asked for this first rehearsal are Eduardo Saljuana (APP), Alejandro Cavero (Avanza País) and Juan Burgos (Vamos). The first cards are on the table and now we have to negotiate with other groups because their 53 votes are not enough.
