Podemos por el Progreso del Perú often called Podemos Perú (PP) is a political party founded in 2018 by economist and former congressman José Luna Gálvez.
History
The legal officer of the National Office of Electoral Processes, Susana Guerrero, was discharged from the party for irregularities concerning the creation and registration of the party.[3] In face of the crisis, Daniel Urresti, then candidate for Mayor of Lima, took over the leadership of the party.[4]
For the 2020 Peruvian snap parliamentary election, José Luna Gálvez announced that he would temporarily resign from the leadership over Podemos Perú, after being investigated in the case that surrounded former Mayor of Lima Luis Castañeda to avoid "hurting the party".[5] The party won 11 seats in the Congressional elections in which nine of them are coming from Lima.
