Who are considered fugitives from justice?

Dear PAO,

I deeply care about my province, so I always make it a point to go home every local election to vote for the right individual, who I think possesses the best qualifications to run the affairs of our local government. However, I am concerned that a person with financial resources, who I believe was in hiding during the past administration due to his involvement in various crimes, is now attempting to run for the highest position in our province. Is he considered as a fugitive from justice? Is this a valid ground for disqualification from holding public office?
