López Aliaga queda como virtual candidato a alcalde de Lima, pese a prohibición legal

Rafael López Aliaga has emerged as the virtual candidate for the mayor of Lima heading his party's list, according to reports from Lima on August 4. The development places the ultra-right politician back in contention for the capital's mayoral race.

The candidacy moves forward despite a legal prohibition. Previously, López Aliaga had resigned from his position as mayor of Lima last year in order to pursue a presidential run in Peru.
