Understanding cables

    SUMMARY
    ----------

    ¶1. (U)  A record 24 parties/alliances met the 1/9 deadline to
    apply to register their presidential tickets for the April
    election.  Ex-President Alberto Fujimori's bid to head the Si
    Cumple party ticket was rejected by the Lima Special
    Electoral Board, but is being appealed to the National
    Electoral Board (JNE), which is expected to render a decision
    by the end of the week.  End Summary.

    -------------------------------------
    TWENTY-FOUR CANDIDATES TO CHOOSE FROM
    -------------------------------------

    ¶2. (U) Twenty-four parties/alliances applied to register
    their presidential candidates with the Lima Special Electoral
    Board (JEE) by the 1/9 filing deadline for the 4/9 elections.
    This is the largest number of presidential candidates in
    Peru's history.  The previous high was 18 in 1980; in 2001
    there were only eight.  The JEE is in the process of
    reviewing the registration applications, publishing an
    announcement of each application that meets the legal
    requirements in the Legal Norms official gazette.  Following
    publication, members of the public have two days in which to
    submit challenges to a an application.

    ¶3. (SBU) Alberto Fujimori's party, Si Cumple (He Delivers),
    sought to register Fujimori as its presidential candidate.
    The JEE rejected this, in a resolution published on 1/10,
    which concluded that the 2001 vote by Congress disqualifying
    Fujimori from holding public office for 10 years also
    precluded him from running for public office.  Si Cumple's
    leadership vowed to appeal this decision to the National
    Electoral Board (JNE) and threatened to stage massive public
    protests.  Meanwhile, Alianza por el Futuro (the alliance of
    pro-Fujimori parties Cambio 90 and Nuevo Mayoria) submitted
    Congresswoman Martha Chavez as its presidential candidate.
    Chavez made it clear that she is running as Fujimori's proxy.
     (COMMENT:  This two pronged Fujimorista approach of
    attempting to run Fujimori on the Si Cumple ticket, while
    preparing a fall-back candidacy on the Alianza por el Futuro
    slate has been planned by the Fujimoristas for some time (Ref
    B).  END COMMENT.)

    ¶5. (SBU) The presidential tickets that have submitted their
    registration requests are:

    COMMENT
    ----------

    ¶5. (SBU)  The plethora of presidential candidates has
    generated criticism from politicians and commentators alike,
    who note that it reflects the disunity of the political
    class, as well as the disorganization and lack of
    representativeness of the traditional political parties.
    Given that parties must obtain at least four percent of the
    legislative vote in order to maintain their registration, it
    is expected that most of the smaller parties will disappear
    after the 4/9 election.  The electoral prospects for the
    registered candidates should become clearer after publication
    of the next nationwide APOYO poll on 1/15.  Additional
    biographic data on some of these candidates is available on
    Post's SIPRNET site
    http://www.state.sgov.gov/p/wha/lima/index.cf m . END COMMENT.
