In the 2011 election, Popular Force supported the candidacy of Keiko Fujimori for President, Rafael Rey for First and Jaime Yoshiyama for Second Vice President.[6][7] Their ticket won 23.55% of votes in the first round, but was defeated by Ollanta Humala's ticket in the runoff with 48.55%. The party obtained 37 seats in the National Congress[8] and 1 seat in the Andean Parliament.
In the 2016 elections, the party won an absolute majority in Congress (36.3% of votes; 71 out of 130 seats). In the presidential vote however, party leader Keiko Fujimori was defeated again by a small margin, gaining 49.88% in the runoff against Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
Supposed connection with drug trafficking
The former secretary general and now the former party's chief financial officer, Joaquin Ramirez, was supposed to be accused by the Drug Enforcement Administration (there is not official statement) and the Dirandro (Peruvian anti-drugs policy) as "one of the most important drug lords in Peru"; and the prosecutor began an preliminary investigation of this charges, but to date (July 2017) after more than a year, there is no official charges against Joaquin Ramirez. This was used as a campaign theme by PPK in the last presidential elections in Peru, last year. The charge also pretended to involve the leader of the Fuerza Popular for the Region of San Martín and other party figures, including Jose Chlimper, the candidate for the vice presidency of the country behind Keiko Fujimori in the Peruvian general elections of 2016.[9]
