The party completed its registration process at the National Jury of Elections in order to participate in the 2026 general election.[4] During the Peruvian protests of 2022 and 2023, the party supported demonstrations against the government of Dina Boluarte and the Congress of Peru, which Vizcarra described as a "dictatorship".[5]
