History
The party's logo as Peru Nation.

Founded in November 2015 by former congressman Francisco Diez Canseco Távara as Peru Nation, the party initially participated in the 2016 general election, but withdrew its presidential ticket and congressional lists ten days before the election, amid the risk of failing to pass the electoral threshold.[2][3]

At the legislative elections held on 26 January 2020, the party won 1.4% of the popular vote but no seats in the Congress of the Republic, placing 21st out of the 22 participating congressional lists.[4]

It was confirmed that they would participate in the general elections of Peru in 2021, with which Francisco Diez Canseco Távara was running as presidential candidate, along with Nancy Cáceres and Manuel Salazar as vice presidents.[5][6]

The ticket was ultimately dismissed by the National Jury of Elections as the party failed to register the ticket on time.[7] As a consequence, the party lost its registration at the jury in the aftermath of the general election, on 7 September 2021.[8]

The party is currently undergoing a second registration under the name Peru Action.[9]
