Mayor of Villa El Salvador
In the 2018 municipal elections, Kevin Iñigo ran for mayor of the District of Villa El Salvador for Perú Patria Segura.[1][2] This was due to the prohibition of immediate reelection of his brother Guido Iñigo Peralta. At the end of the electoral process, Iñigo was elected mayor of Villa El Salvador, being the youngest in history at only 23 years of age, for the 2019-2022 municipal term with 80,523 votes.[3][4]
During his administration, he announced that 50% of the district's budget would be invested in infrastructure.[5] In January 2020, following the tragic fire in VES, Iñigo faced controversy for not making public statements about the event and for blaming his brother’s administration for the poor condition of the roads.[6][7]
He has been affiliated with the Alianza para el Progreso party since September 2021.
