Peruvian Nationalist Party
political party in Peru
Peruvian Nationalist Party (Spanish: Partido Nacionalista Peruano; PNP) was 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. 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.
Initially perceived as a full-fledged socialist government inspired by the Venezuelan Chavismo, Humala's presidency ultimately embraced free-market policies, although not at the same rhythm as previous administrations.
