Former Peruvian President Fujimori to run for president in 2026, daughter says

Peruvian former President Alberto Fujimori will run for the post again in the 2026 election, his daughter Keiko Fujimori said on messaging platform X on Sunday.

Fujimori, who is 85 and suffers from health problems, was serving a 25-year prison term for human rights abuses when he released from jail late last year.
