Political career
[edit]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]
In his administration, he announced the investment of 50% of the district's budget in infrastructure.[5] In January 2020, after the fire tragedy at VES, Iñigo generated controversy by not giving statements about the event and blamed his brother's administration for the poor state of the tracks.[6][7]
He is currently affiliated to the Alianza para el Progreso party since September 2021.
