Overview
- Gilbert Violeta of Fuerza y Libertad stated that Christian Cueva is not a candidate for either chamber and has only expressed support for Fiorella Molinelli.
- He said any place on the ticket would require a formal process, potentially through a slot controlled by Molinelli as the presidential hopeful.
- The speculation surged after Atenas Televisión posted, and Cueva reposted, a clip showing him with Molinelli and promoting a 2026–2031 bid.
- Correo reported that alliance sources planned a Zoom meeting to decide on Cueva’s inclusion, yet no official confirmation has been issued.
- Cueva has not outlined a political platform or announced retirement from football, public reactions range from Magaly Medina’s criticism to Ricardo Gareca’s qualified backing, and his club situation at Emelec remains unstable.
