Possible Peru Electoral Alliance
electoral alliance
The Possible Peru Electoral Alliance (Spanish: Alianza Electoral Perú Posible) was an electoral alliance in Peru formed for the 2011 general election, dominated by the eponymous party Possible Peru and led by presidential candidate and ex-president Alejandro Toledo.
Constituent Parties
Possible Peru (Perú Posible, PP), ecologist and liberal, aligned behind former president Toledo
Popular Action (Acción Popular, AP), with a long tradition since 1956, reformist and nationalist
We Are Peru (Somos Perú, SP), christian democratic and christian humanism
In the 2006 general election, Popular Action and We Are Peru formed the Center Front (Frente del Centro) while Toledo's party Possible Peru contested separately.
In the congressional election on April 10, the alliance won 14.8% of the popular vote and 21 of 130 seats, making them the third largest force in Congress. In the elections for the five Peruvian members of the Andean Parliament, they won 14.8% of the popular vote and one representative: Javier Reátegui.
Presidential candidate Alejandro Toledo won 15.6% of the votes, placing him fourth and failed to qualify for the run-off.
The Possible Peru Alliance has formed a majority coalition in Congress with Peru Wins, the left-wing Nationalists-dominated alliance of Ollanta Humala. Therefore, Toledo suggested to vote for Humala in the run-off on 5 June.
Parliamentary Alliance
Twenty of the 21 representatives elected on the Possible Peru Alliance's lists has formed the Parliamentary Alliance (Spanish: Alianza Parlamentaria) group in Congress. Carlos Bruce, who had been expelled from Possible Peru for publicly criticizing the party's coalition with Peru Wins, has joined the small oppositional, APRA-dominated group Parliamentary Coordination.
Dissolution
In June 2012, the 5 members of Popular Action resigned from the Possible Peru bench, due to Possible Peru support for the official candidate for the presidency of the Congress of the Republic of Peru, when the popular member Víctor Andrés was proposed for the same position.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as electoral alliance. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5668506. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1956, 2006 and 2012.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
