Quick Facts Candidate, Party ...

Juan Francisco Solórzano Foppa, a pre-candidate of the Semilla–Winaq–URNG–MAIZ coalition, was unable to register due to legal issues, but his team was registered. Under electoral law, if the coalition wins the election, the first councilor would have become the mayor-elect, but she withdrew her candidacy, which led to Ninotchka Matute, the second councilor, becoming the mayor-elect.
