LIMA (Reuters) - 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.
