Source-derived summary

Clodoaldo Kevin Yñigo Peralta (Villa El Salvador, September 15, 1995) is a Peruvian business administrator and politician. He served as mayor of the district of Villa El Salvador from January 2019 to December 2022 for the Peru Patria Segura.

Political career

Mayor of Villa El Salvador

In the 2018 municipal elections, Kevin Yñigo ran for mayor of the District of Villa El Salvador for Perú Patria Segura. This was due to the prohibition of immediate reelection of his brother Guido Iñigo Peralta. At the end of the electoral process, Yñigo 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.

During his administration, he announced that 50% of the district's budget would be invested in infrastructure. In January 2020, following the tragic fire in VES, Yñigo faced controversy for not making public statements about the event and for blaming his brother’s administration for the poor condition of the roads.

He has been affiliated with the Alianza para el Progreso party since September 2021.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kevin Iñigo Peralta” as peruvian administrator and politician. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1995, 2019, 2022, 2018—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995-09-15. The account is most persuasive where Kevin, Iñigo and Peralta can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as peruvian administrator and politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121572591. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2019, 2022 and 2018.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
