 Peru Election 2006: Peru's New Congress and Alliance Politics (Updated, again)
It is worth noting here that alliance-building is particularly important in Peru, and not just in the generic sense (present in any presidential system) of needing to form majorities to pass statutes or constitutional amendments needed to implement a separately elected president’s program of policy change.
Nonetheless, the cabinet and its PM are important in Peru, and a president who lacks a reliable alliance in the legislature will find it hard to govern.

 In Peru, a possible return of Fujimori fires emotions - The Boston Globe
He is legally banned from holding office until 2011, and Peru's current government is hoping to extradite and try him on charges including financial corruption and sanctioning death squads.
Although he is unlikely to be released by the Jan. 9 filing deadline for presidential candidates, and would be subject to arrest if he tried to enter Peru, Fujimori's political allies said he would legally be allowed to run from abroad; they also say the congressional ban on his holding office is unconstitutional.
Some analysts and supporters have said his plan all along was to remain in Chile, which is known to demand extensive evidence for extradition requests and has denied the return of four exiles associated with Fujimori.

Rumsfeld traveled to Peru yesterday where the current issue, unlike in Bolivia, is not the destabilizing of the political system but the instability of the political system after four years of failed political leadership by the country’s hapless president, Alejandro Toledo.
For example, allegations in March of this year that Toledo conspired with his sister and senior officials of his Peru Possible (PP) political party to forge thousands of signatures to permit him to register for the 2000 election, reduced his low approval ratings to a dismal eight percent.
The majority of Peruvians who fear a possible Fujimori presidency can rest assured that his return to power would be a most unlikely event because his congressional allies are not numerous enough to lift his ten year ban from holding public office.

Peru’s variant also allows the president to fire a prime minister–even against the wishes of the parliamentary coalition (unlike the French or Romanian or Haitian versions, for example).
This need for multiparty alliances is one reason why a possible second presidency for Alan García would be quite different from his last, disastrous, turn in power.

In each of the principal localities visited in the interior of Peru and of Bolivia, the Commission, in order to obtain most promptly the greatest possible variety of views on the coca-leaf problem, held conferences at which the local prefect, deputy prefect or mayor usually presided.
Consideration might also profitably be given to the possibility of providing that the rate of interest on any loan granted to a farmer who also grows coca leaf, be higher than that on loans granted to farmers who do not grow coca leaf.
The practice now adopted by the armies of Peru and Bolivia of not permitting the chewing of the coca leaf during military service should be elevated to the status of a legal prohibition.
