History[edit]


Possible Peru has its roots in an earlier political party, País Possible, which was founded by the economist Alejandro Toledo in 1994. País Possible garnered 4% of the popular vote in the 1995 presidential election.


In the 2000 presidential election, Toledo ran as a candidate from Possible Peru. After coming in second to Alberto Fujimori in the initial round of voting, Toledo withdrew as a candidate and requested that his supporters cast blank ballots in the second round run-off that was to be held because both candidates failed to receive more than 50% of the votes.


After Fujimori was sworn in for his third term, Toledo led his supporters in organizing a protest against Fujimori's alleged corruption, which became popularly known as La Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos (es), in a reference to the four suyu (district) in which the Inca Empire or Tawantin Suyu was divided. The protest turned violent, with six people being killed on 28 July inside a bank on fire. In response to growing allegations of corruption within his administration, Fujimori resigned as president in November 2000.


Toledo was elected in 2001 as Fujimori's replacement, receiving 52.2% of the popular vote. Shortly after becoming president, Toledo made a strategic alliance with the Moralizing Independent Front, led by Fernando Olivera.


In 2004, Toledo was accused of falsifying some of the signatures that had been collected on his behalf in the 2000 election. Police concluded that 78% of the signatures had been falsified. Further investigation revealed that the forged signatures had been produced by Toledo's sister, who was subsequently placed under house arrest.



2006 Elections[edit]


Peru Possible's presidential candidate for the 2006 election, Rafael Belaúnde Aubry (es), along with the vice-presidential candidates, pulled out of the race on 31 January. However, a clash with the core of the party over the inclusion of some people in the congressional candidate list led to the withdrawal of his candidature.


The previous candidate, businesswoman Jeannete Enmanuel Tejada (es) also renounced her candidature one week after being selected following growing pressure from within certain parts of the Peru Possible party, due to her political inexperience.


Belaúnde Aubry was until recently leader of another party, Acción Popular, which was founded by his father and former President, Fernando Belaúnde Terry, and was invited by Peru Possible to represent the party in the elections.
