The Electoral Tribunal has confirmed the candidacy of Jorge Herrera for the presidency of the Panameñista Party. With edict 29-2025-S.G. published by the Tribunal this Sunday, Herrera's path in the party's internal contest was cleared. Rodrigo Esquivel had filed the challenge, arguing that the list violated article 373 of the Electoral Code, which requires that each main candidate has a substitute of the opposite gender. This challenge was subsequently appealed. Narciso J. Arellano Moreno was the presiding magistrate in this case.
