Polls have consistently revealed that almost 70 percent of Peruvians do not think that Fujimoro should run for a third term in office; therefore, the President could not risk a free and fair popular vote if he wants to win. However, the lack of public confidence in the electoral process means that those elected by it are at risk of losing both legitimacy and public support—which is something President Fujimoro should remember as he nears a third term in office. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
