Unión por el Perú (short UPP , German "Union for Peru") is a political party in Peru , which was founded in 1994 by the former Secretary General of the United Nations Javier Pérez de Cuéllar . This party ran against Alberto Fujimori in the 1995 elections .

Its founder Pérez de Cuéllar left the party when he retired into private life. In 2005 , the Unión por el Perú formed an alliance with the Nationalist Party ( Partido Nacionalista Peruano ) with its 42-year-old chairman Ollanta Humala as the top candidate for the 2006 elections .
