Go on Country

In early 2005, the party registered in the National Elections Jury and participated in the 2006 general election, launching Ulises Humala as its presidential nominee. At the legislative elections held on 9 April 2006, the party won 1.1% of the popular vote but no seats in the Congress of the Republic. The presidential ticket itself attained 0.2%, placing fourteenth nationally.[5]

Upon losing the formal registration as a political organization, it had a new re-founding stage that took place on May 10, 2017, after several years, culminating in a new registration on the same year.[6]

At the 2020 parliamentary election, the party won 2.5% of the popular vote but no seats in the Congress of the Republic, as it failed to pass once again the electoral threshold.[7]

Initially, Avanza Pais stood for social democracy and social conservatism. However, the party's ideology has begun to change in recent years, particularly after the party's refounding in 2017 and the nomination of Hernando de Soto as it's candidate. Today, Avanza Pais can be said to stand for classical liberalism and libertarianism, generally supporting free markets. The party does not have an official stance on social issues as it once did, as can be evidenced by the fact that the respective heads of the government plan and youth coordination for Hernando de Soto's presidential campaign, Instituto Político para la Libertad Peru (IPL) vice president Beltran Gomez Hijar, and IPL member and known LGBT rights advocate Alejandro Cavero, have supported pro-LGBT and pro-choice causes, whereas Congressional candidate for Lima District Adriana Tudela, daughter of former vice president Francisco Tudela, is opposed to abortion.[8][9]
