Alberto Fujimori Running President

Ex-dictator Alberto Fujimori will run for the presidency of Peru, his daughter Keiko Fujimori has confirmed. At 85 years old and with numerous severe health issues, he will run for the 2026 presidential elections, thanks to the current US-backed coup government who released him from prison last year.

In 2009, Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison for human rights abuses related to his use of a death squad, known as “Grupo Colina”. Some of the worst atrocities of this group include the “Barrios Altos massacre,» in which the group murdered fifteen innocent people attending a family party who were falsely accused of being part of the Shining Path revolutionary guerrilla movement.

Fujimori was also charged with numerous cases of corruption. In 2022, a new government emerged after a US-backed coup against ex-president Pedro Castillo; that new regime quickly waved his charges and granted him a pardon.

Fujimori has severe health problems, so it’s unclear if he’d even make it to the 2026 elections. If he does, then his party the Popular Force, would be one of the favorites. In the last election, the Popular Force received the second most votes. What’s more, Pedro Castillo is currently being detained without trial and unable to run.
