and the best and most successful in 2010 ...

At the end of 2008, it was expected that the following year, ie 2009, would become the year of reorganization in the political parties and organizations in general, and indeed, in the year ends, were held internal elections and renewal of leadership in political parties, electoral kit crowded shop, both at political parties and organizations of regional and local levels in the same way, we found that more than one political group is the process of collection signatures of adherents to achieve their purpose of having the registration of the party or movement in the Register of Political Organizations (hereinafter ROP) which houses the National Elections Jury (JNE onwards).
is easily deduced that the year 2010, will turn into an election year, not only because the regional and municipal elections will be held on 03 October (first Sunday in October, as established in the recently published Law No. 29,470), but because the general elections would be held on April 10, 2011 (second Sunday in April, according to Law 26859), ie a little over five months after of the regional runoff.
Probably, we deal with our electoral schedule much of calendar 2010. That is, if elections were held on 03 October, the convening of regional and municipal elections at the latest would be the February 3, 2010, the last date to apply for registration in the ROP would be scheduled for June 3; surely know who would be our candidates for president, vice presidential, municipal and regional and municipal councils, by 03 July. The district mayors who have sought to apply for regional presidencies would have to resign on 03 April, and our regional presidents intending to seek re-election would leave without pay, so the step back from the direction of the region, not later than June 3, 2010. And there, political organizations at the regional level, do not pass 30% of valid votes, would have to go to a runoff to be held on October 31, 2010 (taking into account that on 03 November is a Wednesday). And with the completion of regional and municipal elections, general elections would be initiated.

In this context, it is necessary for civil society organizations, and citizens in general, we are empowered, in order to raise the level of dialogue and electoral debate to demand government proposals that address the major gaps and needs of the population that tend to transform reality and improving quality of life of citizens. Voting power, should become an instrument to combat the demagoguery and handouts, to which we are accustomed to our candidates, policies, programs and projects for sustainable and comprehensive development. Peru needs of managers of development of true statesmanship, having a clear vision of how to get Peru to its bicentennial, and even beyond that date.
Finally, what happens in 2010, ie, registration of political organizations (the ROP), registration of candidates, alliances, and finally the October 3 election, will depend on the development of our 25 regions and over 1,800 local governments.
