History
Ezequiel Ataucusi Gamonal created the Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant (Asociación Evangélica de la Misión Israelita del Nuevo Pacto Universal or AEMINPU) in 1968, with The Guardian stating, "The messianic sect behind the party was founded in 1968 by Ezequiel Ataucusi, a self-styled spiritual leader who called himself the 'Christ of the west'". Followers of the movement regard Ezequiel Ataucusi Gamonal as a prophet and "the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit". The Agricultural People's Front of Peru party was officially founded by Ataucusi on 30 September 1989.
In 1995, the party received one seat in the Congress of the Republic of Peru, which was held by Javier Noriega Febres. Noriega was later accused of being the head of a hitmen group by the government of Alberto Fujimori.
The party was elected into two seats during the 2000 general election. The two seats, which were for Luis Cáceres Velásquez and his son Roger Cáceres Pérez, characters who joined the ranks of Fujimorism (Peru 2000) after receiving money from Presidential Advisor and Intelligence Chief Vladimiro Montesinos. Ataucusi died in 2000 and was placed in a glass coffin, with followers expecting his resurrection.
