This Sunday, his daughter and leader of the Fuerza Popular Party, Keiko Fujimori, announced that Alberto Fujimori to Run for President for his political training in the 2026 presidential elections.

«“My father and I talked and decided together that he would be a presidential candidate,” announced Keiko Fujimori by posting on your social network profile X to which he attached a video in which he comments the conversation he had with his father after he officially joined the party.

Fujimori was pardoned in 2018. because of him bad feeling It was even said that it hastened his death. He seems to be in much better condition now, so the pardon may be revoked the current president, Dina Boluarte, as it already happened in 2011 with the pardon Jose Enrique Crucilla by decision of the then president Alan Garcia.

In addition, pardon does not overturn Fujimori’s convictions or criminal liability conoforme includes article 107j of the Organic Law on Elections, which prohibits those convicted of corruption crimes from applying and because he failed to pay the civil reparations to which he was sentenced (Article 107h).

“Let’s not forget that Mr. Alberto Fujimori was convicted of corruption. Moreover, it is accepted by him. One of them is the so-called CTS payment in favor of Vladimiro Montesinos (former intelligence adviser) for $15 million,” the constitutional expert recalled. Luciano Lopez, quoted by the newspaper ‘Peru21′.

Constitutionalists too Anibal Quiroga and Ernesto Blume insisted that the pardon does not free him from the status of a convicted person because he was not amnestied.

Quiroga quoted Articles 33 and 107 of the Constitution.

Article 33 of the Constitution suspends the citizenship of all those who already have a criminal record, and Article 107 does not allow convicted persons to run for president, especially if they owe civil reparations.

Also a former Chairman of the Constitutional Court. Ernesto Blum expressed his doubts.

I find it ridiculous that a citizen (Fujimori) is pardoned and then runs for president.

“A pardon is a remission of the remainder of the sentence which is pending. And, therefore, it releases the pending sentence from the execution of that part, but this does not make the convicted person innocent “This does not erase his record and does not constitute a full rehabilitation that gives him the right to apply,” he stressed.
