Call for a Constituent Congress
On November 22, 1992, the Fujimori government called for a Constituent Congress, obtaining a majority of the ruling party. This call was part of the process following the self-coup of April 5, 1992.
The government of Alberto Fujimori Fujimori called for elections for a Constituent Congress, achieving a pro-government majority in the process. This call took place in the context of the self-coup of April 5, 1992, when Fujimori dissolved the National Congress and reorganized the Judicial Power. The aim of the Constituent Congress was to elaborate a new Political Constitution of Peru. This measure was part of the schedule of the so-called "Government of Emergency and National Reconstruction" for the supposed reestablishment of the constitutional and democratic order of the country.
