Peru’s Christian Cueva Reportedly Enters Congressional Race With Fuerza y Libertad

The claim stems from a social video with party leader Fiorella Molinelli rather than an official registration.

Overview

  • Elpopular.pe reports a social video shows Cueva alongside Fuerza y Libertad leader Fiorella Molinelli and presents his plan to run with the party.
  • According to that report, he would seek a Cámara de Diputados seat for the 2026–2031 term.
  • The coverage says he would step away from his football career to pursue the post.
  • TV host Magaly Medina criticized the reported bid, arguing that past fame and a perceived decline in form do not make him prepared to legislate.
  • The candidacy has not been confirmed by electoral authorities, and Medina also faulted parties for elevating celebrities linked to scandals.
