A total of 27 candidates applied to replace the magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal (TE), Alfredo Juncá Wendehake, in a process now in the hands of the National Assembly, responsible for the selection. The call closed this Friday, April 10, after the official period for document submission, where lawyers, former officials, and legal professionals submitted their resumes to compete for the position. Among the most prominent names is that of current magistrate Alfredo Juncá Wendehake, who has formalized his intention to renew his mandate at the institution. The list of aspirants highlights the candidacies of lawyer Maritza Cedeño Vásquez, the comptroller Jaime Barroso Pinto, and the former vice mayor Roberto Ruíz Díaz. The process was activated because the term of magistrate Alfredo Juncá has expired; he was appointed in 2017 and is completing his 10-year term at the Electoral Tribunal.
