Fuerza Popular (German: Volkskraft ), formerly Fuerza 2011 , is a politically conservative and economically liberal ( fujimorist ) party in Peru . It was founded on the occasion of the 2011 elections and supported the presidential candidacy of Keiko Fujimori , the daughter of the former dictatorial president Alberto Fujimori , in the 2011 and 2016 elections.
history
Fuerza 2011 succeeded the various fujimorist parties and groups Alianza por el Futuro ( Cambio 90 - Nueva Mayoría ) and Sí Cumple . Associated is also the Catholic-conservative party Renovación Nacional of Andean parliamentarian Rafael Rey , who also ran as Fujimori's vice-presidential candidate in 2011.
In the elections in Peru in April 2011 , the party was the second strongest force in Congress with 22.97% and had 37 of 130 members of parliament. In the Andean parliament , one of the five Peruvian delegates of the Fuerza Popular belonged to 23.21% of the votes. In the parallel presidential elections, the top candidate Keiko Fujimori qualified for the second ballot on June 5 with 23.55%, but was then defeated by the left-wing candidate Ollanta Humala with 48.5% .
Keiko Fujimori also ran as Fuerza Popular's candidate for president in the April 2016 elections in Peru. In the first round of the presidential election, Keiko received 39.86% of the valid votes and thus landed in first place ahead of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) from the Peruanos Por el Kambio (PPK) party, who got 21.05%, so this both came into the runoff election.
The majority of the losing candidates in the first round now support the PPK in order to prevent a return of fujimorismo in the form of Alberto Fujimori's daughter Keiko. Despite strong political contradictions, not only Alejandro Toledo Manrique , under whom the PPK had been Prime Minister, but also the left-wing ecological candidate Verónika Mendoza from Frente Amplio, called for the election of PPKs.
PPK won the runoff election with 50.120% of the vote, while Keiko Fujimori was defeated with 49.880%, so that Kuczynski became President of the Republic of Peru for the electoral period from 2016 to 2021.
In the 2016 congressional elections, which took place at the same time as the first round of the presidential elections, Fuerza Popular achieved an absolute majority of 73 out of 130 seats with 36.34% of the vote.
In the early parliamentary elections in January 2020 , she received 7.31% of the vote and 15 seats
