Peruvian Nationalist Party (Spanish: Partido Nacionalista Peruano; PNP) is a centre-left to left-wing political party in Peru.

History

The Nationalist Party had as its antecedent the Peruvian Nationalist Movement. The party was originally conceived to be the main political expression of the ethnocacerist ideology, though the ideology was renounced by party founder Ollanta Humala in 2006.

Ollanta Humala was the Peruvian Nationalist Party's presidential nominee for the

2006 general election, running under a joint ticket with Union for Peru, as the party was not registered on time for the election. Humala lost the runoff against Alan García of the Peruvian Aprista Party.[4] However, the alliance with the Union for Peru would be dissolved, and the members of the Nationalist Party would form the Nationalist bench made up of 25 Congressmen. In 2010, PNP formed the alliance Peru Wins ("Gana Perú") to participate in 2011 general election. In the runoff vote on 5 June 2011, Humala was elected president against Keiko Fujimori of the Force 2011. He served in office on from 28 July 2011 to 28 July 2016.[5]

Initially perceived as a full-fledged

political centre during his presidency.[8][9]

The party opted to not take part in the 2016 general elections, in order to preserve its status as an official party; in Peru, a party that fails to obtain above 5% in a national election is automatically removed from the registry of political parties. With the party's prospective presidential candidate Daniel Urresti polling at around 1% in the run-up to the election, the PNP decided to refrain from electoral politics until local elections in 2018.[10]

2021 general election

Following a dry spell by not participating in the 2018 regional and municipal elections and the 2020 snap parliamentary election, the party announced Humala as its presidential nominee for the 2021 general election.[11] On election day, with only 1.6% of the valid votes in the presidential election and 1.51% in the parliamentary election, the party failed to overcome the electoral fence and the party could lose its registration as a political party.[12][13][14]

Guidelines

The PNP is a party strictly centralized in the figure of Ollanta Humala, but it had a strong ideological influence from the thought of José Carlos Mariátegui, Víctor Haya de la Torre and even Juan Velasco Alvarado. The political vision that characterizes the party is to seek a transformation of the country through the construction of a social and political majority; It also seeks the mobilization of the country's human and "moral" resources to contribute to the construction of the State.

Some of the main goals set by the party consisted of dignifying politics, promoting justice, economic and social development for the re-founding of democracy; it also promotes equality before the courts for everyone.
