		Political analysts say that after evaluating the results of congressional elections held in May, Duran Ballen decided to promote popular support for a constituent assembly, which would effectively paralyze Congress while the assembly was in session, and which could even dissolve Congress.
		Some analysts now say that Fujimori has hesitated to formally declare his candidacy because he first wants to be sure that he has a good chance of winning the election in the first round, since he and his backers are concerned that a united effort by the opposition could defeat him in a run-off.
		If he runs, Fujimori is expected to base his campaign on his first-term achievements, in particular, the reduction of political violence, and having reintegrated Peru into the world economy through successful negotiations with international lending institutions and private foreign banks.
