After the economy was fixed peruvians wanted a return to democracy and the terrorists were on the run. He has won the elections that year by an extremely narrow margin amid allegations of vote fraud, therefore the scandal destroyed all the support Fujimori had. He declared that he wasn't going to be a candidate for the elections in April 2001. A few days later,  he went to Brunei to attend the Asia-Pacific economic cooperation Forum, he went straight to Japan and didn’t return to Peru because he was faxing his resignation form the safety of his second home. The congress refused to accept any of his resignations and voted him out of office because of being morally disabled.

The United Nations and other international aid agencies supported this inhumane campaign. USAID  provided funding and training until it was later exposed by objections by churches and human rights groups. The Nippon Foundation , headed by Ayako Sono, a japanese novelist and personal friend of Fujimori, supported this. Over 215,000 people, mostly women, entirely indigenous, were forced or threatened into sterilization and 16,547 men were forced to undergo vasectomies during this time, most of them without proper care and anaesthetist, in contrast to 80, 385 sterilisations and 2,795 vasectomies over the previous three years.

His successful grassroots campaign had quickly accumulated the economic shock tactics advocated by the conservative candidate, Mario Vargas Llosa. In june 1990 he defeated Vargas in a runoff election with 56.6% of the vote. However, on August 8, less than two weeks after taking office, Fujimori initiated austerity measures as harsh as those he had earlier had decried, including raising the price of gasoline by 3,000%. The policy, popularly known as the “Fujishock” wiped out inflation but caused immediate layoffs and hardships amongst the poor.
