2006 elections

The party was apparently initially registered in case former President Alberto Fujimori's own ticket (under the party Sí Cumple). Fujimori's bid for president was rejected due to his ban by Congress to hold office until 2011, and this coalition became the only pro-Fujimori option in the election after the National Jury of Elections (Jurado Nacional de Elecciones) upheld the ban.

The candidates were:

Chávez is currently a Congresswoman (1995-2006), and was the first woman in Peruvian history to become President of Congress (1995–96). She was suspended from Congress in 2002 after corruption accusations, but was reinstated in 2005 after she was acquitted in court. Santiago Fujimori is Alberto's younger brother and advisor during his presidency. Sousa is a lawyer and has not had a prominent role in politics before.

The vice-presidential candidates also ran for Congress under candidate numbers 4 and 3, respectively, in the Alliance's list for Lima. This list also included Keiko Fujimori, Alberto's daughter and former First Lady (after her parents' separation), as candidate number 1, who obtained the highest number of votes for an individual candidate. Another member of the party is Alejandro Aguinaga, Alberto Fujimori's personal doctor and former Health Minister.

The Alliance's logo consists of an orange oval with the "AF 2006" in white. "AF" serves as both the initials of the coalition and those of Alberto Fujimori.

At the legislative elections held on 9 April 2006, the party won 13.1% of the popular vote and 13 out of 120 seats in Congress.

For the 2011 Peruvian general election the Alliance for the Future was succeeded as the Fujimorists' electoral vehicle by Force 2011 led by Keiko Fujimori. Only a minority of Cambio 90 and Always Together decided to join the National Solidarity Alliance of Luis Castañeda.
