Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori passed away on Wednesday, September 11, at his home in Lima at the age of 86, after “a long battle with cancer.” The news was confirmed by his daughter Keiko Fujimori.
“After a long battle with cancer, our father, Alberto Fujimori, has just passed away to meet the Lord. We ask those who loved him to accompany us with a prayer for the eternal rest of his soul. Thank you for so much, Dad,” Keiko Fujimori posted on the social network X, in a message she signed with her brothers Hiro, Sachie and Kenjih.
Earlier, her personal doctor and congressman Alejandro Aguinaga said that Fujimori was fighting for her life. At that time and “as a consequence of the information (circulating about her health) we asked that visits be restricted and we reiterate our gratitude (for the interest in Fujimori),” he told journalists stationed at the door of the house.
Shortly afterwards, the Peruvian Presidency expressed its concern for the health of the former president (1990-2000) in a message on the social network X.

“From the Presidency of the Republic we express our concern for the health of former President Alberto Fujimori and we wish for his speedy recovery. We extend our solidarity and strength to his family,” he said.

Last July he underwent successful hip surgery, a week after being admitted to intensive care following a fall at his home in Lima.
Two months earlier, her doctors had detected a new malignant tumor, which is why she announced that she was going to start a new treatment.
At that time, he accompanied the message with a short video in which he assured that he was going to fight “a new battle” against cancer.
Despite her health condition, her daughter Keiko Fujimori announced that his father intended to run for head of state in the elections scheduled for 2026.
