Napoleón Becerra

Napoleón Becerra García (11 April 1964 – 15 March 2026) was a Peruvian trade unionist and politician who was a presidential candidate in the 2026 general election for the Workers and Entrepreneurs Party.

Life and career Becerra was born on 11 April 1964 in Cajamarca. He studied at Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University, earning a degree in administration and a bachelor's degree in administrative sciences in 2009.

Death Becerra died on 15 March 2026 in a car collision in the town of Huaytará, Huancavelica province, while travelling to the district of Tambo in the department of Ayacucho, to take part in political activities in the context of his candidacy for president. He was taken to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries afterwards.

His party requested help from the national government to provide resources to bring Becerra's body to Lima.
