Benigno Chirinos
Benigno Chirinos is a prominent figure in the Partido Aprista Peruano (APRA), serving as the political secretary general. Recently, he has been in the news for expressing strong criticism towards the National Jury of Elections (JNE) following the controversial removal of approximately 11,000 party members from the electoral registry. Chirinos argued that this decision undermines the constitutional right to political participation and emphasized the need for the JNE to respect the voluntary will of those who wish to affiliate with the party. His statements highlight the internal conflicts and challenges facing APRA as it prepares for the upcoming elections in 2026.
