Sandra joins the Keiko Fujimori club of serial losing girlbosses.

Keiko will hand off the Álvaro Noboa Memorial Award, given with increasing frequency for losing three runoff elections in a row, to her.

Constitutional Court has ruled against Semilla again after opponents sued over the composition of Congressional leadership. Independents aren’t permitted to be members of the Junta Directiva, so the CC has ordered a repeat of leadership elections. Samuel Pérez Álvarez has accepted the ruling and will step aside pending the repeat election tomorrow (last time’s loser Sandra Jovel, foreign minister under Jimmy Morales, won’t run again after a collapse in support, and Semilla is expected to be able to keep its coalition together).
