Political life

San Román entered politics in 1990 as the first running mate of Alberto Fujimori in the Change 90 presidential ticket. He was elected First Vice President[3] and Senator for the 1990-1995 term.[4] He was sworn as President of the Senate due to the high number of votes he received in the general elections.

In April 1992, he was visiting the Dominican Republic during Fujimori's self-coup, which dissolved Congress and closed other public institutions such as the Judiciary and the Attorney General's office. San Román returned to Peru to claim the Presidency. He was sworn as President by the dissolved Congress on 21 April 1992[5][6][7]. Although the move was constitutional, Fujimori had all the support and popular approval for the coup, and San Román had no real power to govern. His term is considered to be between the day of his oath of office, 21 April 1992, and the day when the Democratic Constitutional Congress proclaimed Fujimori as Constitutional President.[8]

He was elected to Congress for the 1995–2000 term for Mayor of Lima Ricardo Belmont's OBRAS party. In 2000, he ran for president under the Union for Peru party, earning the last spot with 36,000 votes.

San Román has run for first vice president a total of 4 times. The first was with Alberto Fujimori in 1990, the second with Ricardo Belmont in 1995, the third with pastor Humberto Lay in 2006, and the fourth with Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2011.
