Lima, June 29 (RHC)-- The Plenary of the National Jury of Elections (JNE) of Peru declared this Monday as unfounded 10 other appeals presented by Keiko Fujimori's political party, Fuerza Popular, regarding the nullity of the electoral records.

The JNE's confirmation comes after the Popular Force presented last week the nullification of another 10 electoral reports, alluding to alleged irregularities, which were not argued by the ultra-right presidential candidate's party.

In the course of the morning, the JNE with the participation and incorporation of Víctor Rodríguez Monteza heard the testimonies of the legal team of Fuerza Popular defending its position of nullity of the minutes of the regions of San Martín and Huancavelica, but the instance declared the request as unfounded.

However, the authorities of the National Jury of Elections agreed to refer the complaints of Fuerza Popular to the Peruvian Public Prosecutor's Office to investigate the alleged crimes alluded to regarding the vote count of the presidential runoff election.

It is worth mentioning that the appeals proceedings were suspended after the unexpected resignation of prosecutor Luis Arce Córdova, product of his decision the Plenary of the JNE was left without a quorum.

The JNE will have another hearing where the plenary will process another eight requests for annulment of minutes presented by Fuerza Popular.  Meanwhile, social organizations continue to gather in Lima demanding the proclamation of Pedro Castillo as the new president of the nation.
