Peru’s Presidential Election: A Litmus Test on the Legacy of Fujimorismo | The Wire

If Keiko wins, she will have free rein – her party already holds a majority in the country's unicameral congress. What many liberals fear may also come true: Fujimori could be pardoned and released from jail. This has already been indicated by Cecilia Chacón, the FP's first congressperson, when she declared that Fujimori will soon exit from the prison gates.

 

Even if PPK wins, he would find it difficult to control an FP-majority congress. He will have no choice but to acquiesce to the FP's stipulations. Any resistance from PPK could be met with swift legislative actions and calls for popular protest.
