Eighty five year old Alberto Fujimori who governed Peru from 1990 until 2000 has announced his intention to run for president in the 2026 elections of the country, despite a legacy marred by corruption scandals and human rights violations.
His daughter, Keiko Fujimori, who has unsuccessfully run for president three times, revealed the news.
The candidacy of the 85-year-old ex-president, who was released from prison in December is fraught with legal and political uncertainties due to his previous convictions.
Experts say his candidacy would have to be decided by the country’s electoral authority.
