## History

[edit]

The legal officer of the National Office of Electoral Processes, Susana Guerrero, was discharged from the party for irregularities concerning the creation and registration of the party.[3] In face of the crisis, Daniel Urresti, then candidate for Mayor of Lima, took over the leadership of the party.[4]

### 2020 snap parliamentary elections

[edit]

For the 2020 snap parliamentary election, José Luna Gálvez announced that he would temporarily resign from the leadership of Podemos Perú, after being investigated in the case that surrounded former Lima Mayor Luis Castañeda to avoid "hurting the party".[5] Luna, also owner of the Telesup University, said that he did not participate in the elections either "so as not to damage the party."[6] However, his son José Luna Morales did. The party won 11 seats in the Congressional elections in which, eight of them are coming from Lima. The party also received the most votes in Lima.

### 2021 general elections

[edit]

For the 2021 general election, Urresti was nominated by the party for the Presidency. However, on 4 February 2021, he was disqualified from the race, but he was reinstated in the race by the National Jury of Elections on 18 February.[7][8] In the election, Urresti placed 9th with 5.6% of the vote. While in the congressional election, the party won five seats, mainly from Lima, Callao and Ica.
