In Caapucú, Paraguay, the electoral tribunal has confirmed Ramón Anselmo Penayo Arce as the official candidate for the ANR party, List 1. He steps in after his brother, the current mayor Gustavo Penayo Arce, resigned from his re-election bid, citing health problems.

Ramón Anselmo, an engineer, was immediately proclaimed the new candidate by the party's Electoral Tribunal (TEP). The TEP officially accepted Gustavo Penayo Arce's resignation through Resolution No. 383, clearing the way for his brother's candidacy. This move ensures the mayoral position remains within the family.

Following his proclamation, Ramón Anselmo formally registered his candidacy with the Electoral Court of Paraguarí. The TEP also addressed the vacancy created among the municipal council candidates, officially including Óscar Marcial Fretes Maidana at position number 11 on the official list, as stipulated by Paraguayan electoral law.
