Peruvians for Change (Spanish: Peruanos Por el Kambio, PPK) was a centre-right party in Peru.[1][2]
Founded and officially registered in October 2014,[3] the party was described as conservative and liberal.[4][5] Its leader was Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, President of Peru from 2016 until his resignation in 2018.
In his short presidential tenure, Kuczynski held a government minority in the Peruvian Congress against Popular Force's majority. Initially with 18 members, the party's parliamentary caucus ended splitting up into factions, as independent congressmen left following the pardon of Alberto Fujimori in December 2017. Amid scandal revolving on the president's past relationship with Odebrecht, and facing two impeachment processes, Kuczynski tendered his resignation in March 2018.
The party in theory served as President Martín Vizcarra's government party even though he was not registered but ended up in a bitter conflict between the executive branch and the parliamentary caucus, as they held many disagreements on policy and government decisions. Following to the party's poor results at the 2018 regional and municipal elections, and Kuczynski's resignation to the party's presidency,[6] the National Executive Committee agreed on re-founding the party under the name Contigo in March 2019, thus effectively dissolving Peruvians for Change.[7]
The incorrect spelling Kambio instead of Cambio ("change" in Spanish) was intended to make the party have the same initials as its founder.[8]
