===Return to Congress===
The [[American Popular Revolutionary Alliance|Peruvian Aprista Party]], led by Alva from outside Congress as Secretary General, achieved 53 deputies and 16 senators, representing a third of each chamber. The congressional term would end with the [[1992 Peruvian coup d'état|1992 self-coup]], which dissolved the entire legislative branch.

In the following years, under the Fujimori's government, Alva would not have greater political participation, except in his party when he was elected again as Secretary General in 1996, a position he held until 1999.

In the [[2000 Peruvian general election|2000 general election]], he was elected to Congress with a majority of 35,336 votes. The 2000–2005 term would be shortened with the convoking of [[2001 Peruvian general election|new general elections for 2001]], due to the corruption allegations against [[Alberto Fujimori]] and his resignation. In those elections, Alva was reelected to Congress with a majority of 95,050 votes. Based on his experience and high vote count, he was appointed Party Spokesperson, a position he exerted while serving in the abolished Chamber of Deputies. He also served as President of the [[Andean Community of Nations]] in 2001.

In August 2005, he was appointed as President of the [[Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre]] Private Institute. During this time, he published a renowned work titled "The Asylum Man" (El Señor Asilo), based Haya de la Torre's experience as political refugee in the Colombian Embassy in Peru, during the proceedings of the [[Asylum case]] determined by the [[International Court of Justice]].

For the [[2006 Peruvian general election|2006 general election]], Alva was appointed [[American Popular Revolutionary Alliance|Peruvian Aprista Party]] Campaign Head for the North, proving the victory for [[Alan García]] with the Aprista stronghold in the North of Peru. Conjointly, he was reelected for a third term in Congress, with a majority of 57,409 votes. During the 2006–2011 parliamentary term, he was elected [[President of the Congress of the Republic of Peru|President of the Congress]] for a year in 2009, for the 2009-2010, being his first time in charge of the same legislative body since 1987 when he was the President of the Chamber of Deputies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.congreso.gob.pe/participacion/museo/congreso/presidentes-2001-2050|title = Presidentes del Congreso de 2001 al 2050}}</ref>
