The president of the Constitutional Commission of Congress, Omar Chehade, said he hoped that next Tuesday, when the ordinary meeting of this working group is held, a consensus will be reached to approve the opinion on the general elections of 2021.
He stated that they are already in a second prediction and achieving the agreements within the working group, since there is already about 80 percent consensus among the benches.
“There is one or another difference, but I think we will achieve that missing 20 percent on Tuesday when we meet where the latest prediction will be refined, because we have listened to the congressmen about their positions and we will arrive at an opinion on Tuesday to vote it and bring it to plenary sessionor ”, he told the Andina agency.
Chehade explained that the President of the Republic, Martín Vizcarra, when calling the elections for April 11, 2021, the process was confirmed on that date, since the second round will be defined later by the National Jury of Elections (JNE) when they are known the official results.
“When making this call, it has already been ruled out that (the elections) are in May“He assured.
Likewise, he specified, there is consensus in the proposal to extend the electoral day for 12 hours, from 7:00 to 19:00, as requested by the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE).
Regarding the internal elections of the parties, the tendency in the benches is that it will be possible to choose between two modalities: a militant, one vote and elections through delegates.
“It has been decided by the two options, each political group being free to decide which one to adopt, but always organized and supervised by the ONPE“He assured.
