Early general elections were held in Peru on 8 April 2001, with a second round of the presidential election on 3 June.[1] The elections were held after President Alberto Fujimori claimed asylum in Japan during a trip to Asia and resigned his position.[2]
The presidential elections were won by Alejandro Toledo of Possible Peru, who had been defeated by Fujimori in the 2000 general election, while his party emerged as the largest faction in the Congress.[3]
