Roy Charlie Arbaiza Corcuera secured the highest vote share in the October 4, 2026, Trujillo mayoral election with approximately 26.57% of valid ballots per official ONPE tallies, well ahead of Víctor Robert De La Cruz Rosas and the rest of the field. His candidacy, backed by the Partido Patriótico del Perú and former mayor Arturo Fernández Bazán, benefited from consolidated support in a fragmented contest featuring over a dozen contenders. Arbaiza has since initiated the transition process ahead of the January 2027 inauguration and confirmed Fernández will serve as an unpaid advisor. Minor questions over residency and prior elected experience have surfaced in reporting but have not altered the certified lead. Trader consensus prices Arbaiza as the clear frontrunner while assigning low single-digit or negligible probabilities to remaining candidates pending final proclamation.
