Christian Cueva Signals Bid for Peru’s Chamber of Deputies With Fuerza y Libertad

The move was telegraphed on social media alongside party leader Fiorella Molinelli, with no formal filing disclosed.

Overview

  • Atenas TV published a photo and video of Cueva with Fiorella Molinelli that the player also shared on Instagram, presenting his run with Fuerza y Libertad.
  • Peru21 notes Cueva has not issued a detailed political statement and has not announced a retirement from professional football.
  • Entertainment host Magaly Medina publicly criticized his inclusion on a party list, arguing his declining form does not qualify him to legislate.
  • Depor reports Cueva’s situation at Emelec looks unsettled as the club faces debts and after a reported locker‑room confrontation with Justin Cuero, which Romario Caicedo intervened to defuse.
  • Depor adds his deal with Emelec runs until mid‑2026 but could be cut short, with rumors linking him to potential moves in Peru’s Liga 1 including Sporting Cristal, Universitario and Sport Boys.
