    Rafael López Aliaga's Candidacy Challenged: Exclusion Requests Filed Over Alleged Hidden Re-election

    Rafael López Aliaga, former mayor of Lima, faces two exclusion requests for his candidacy as first regidor (lieutenant mayor) of Lima in the 2026 regional and municipal elections. Citizens argue that his current position on the list of Popular Renewal allows for a potential immediate re-election as mayor, which is prohibited by Peru's constitution. López Aliaga has previously changed positions on his candidacies and commitments. The Lima Center Electoral Jury (JEE) has granted him one day to respond to the complaints. Meanwhile, López Aliaga's party, Renewal Popular, has requested that the JEE dismiss the exclusion petition.

Lanning argues that this decision is unfair to the sport and the players currently on teams, as it could lead to other players being cut to accommodate the returning athletes. The Ducks, ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll, are not actively seeking these incoming players and have all the talent they need for the 2026 season.
