announced her intention to enter politics as a candidate for mayor of Lima in the 1995 elections.
This is incorrect: contemporary coverage shows Susana Higuchi was pursuing a 1995 presidential bid, not a run for mayor of Lima.
Full reasoning
Multiple contemporaneous news reports say Higuchi tried to run for president of Peru in 1995.
- A UPI report from October 20, 1994 says electoral authorities rejected "her presidential bid" and that Higuchi had "registered to run against Fujimori in April 1995 elections."
- An El País report from September 14, 1994 says she would "compete against her husband ... in Peru's presidential elections" and quotes her accepting "the challenge to the presidency."
Those sources directly contradict the article's statement that she planned to be a candidate for mayor of Lima in the 1995 elections.
