The Purple Party (Spanish: Partido Morado) is a centrist Peruvian political party. The color purple was chosen to represent the blending of red and blue, the colors of right and left wing parties in Peru, symbolizing the centrist ideology of the party.[2]

History

On 17 October 2016 following his nominating party's ban from the 2016 Peruvian general election, Julio Guzmán led the First Purple Summit in Lima, Peru, founding the party.[3] More than 1,000 individuals participated in establishing guidelines for the political movement.[3]
