Biography

Cuba was born in the Tantara District to Jorge Marticorena Salvatierra and Sebastiana Cuba Violeta. He attended the Alfonso Ugarte School [es] in Lima for his primary and secondary studies, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University for his accounting degree.

Cuba stood in the 1989 Lima municipal elections [es] as a member of the Peruvian Aprista Party, which would later merge into the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance. He was elected to be a Municipal Councillor for the Lurín district from 1990 to 1993. He ran for Mayor of the district in 2002 [es], but was defeated by José Luis Ayllón Mini. However, he redeemed himself in 2006 [es], winning the seat. He was reelected in the 2010 elections [es] but lost to José Arakaki Nakamine in the 2014 elections [es]. For the 2018 elections, he switched to the party We Are Peru and once again won the seat of District Mayor of Lurín.

Jorge Marticorena contracted COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru in February 2021. He died on 1 March 2021 at the age of 64, becoming the third district mayor in the Lima metropolitan area to die of the disease, following Luis Chauca Navarro [es] and Claudio Marcatoma Ccahuana.
