Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru who led the country from 1990 to 2000, died on Wednesday at the age of 86, said his family on social media.
Fujimori's health had been in decline for some time, and in May of this year, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with a new malignant tumor on his tongue. He subsequently began receiving radiation therapy, but his condition continued to worsen. Despite his deteriorating health, his daughter Keiko had previously stated that her father intended to run for the presidency again in the 2026 elections.
