- Peruvian general election, 2011

After the regime of Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) Peruvian politics has been dominated by several political parties, covering the whole political spectrum.
Main Political Parties
Right of the center is the Unidad Nacional (National unity) coalition, composed of Partido Popular Cristiano (Christian People's Party) and Solidaridad Nacional (National Renewal), although an agreement to mantain this coalition for the 2011 election has not been reached yet. [ [http://peru21.pe/noticia/214293/castaneda-no-descarta-retomar-alianza-lourdes-flores-2011] , "Peru21", August 19 2008. ] Striking a more populist tone, Alianza para el Futuro (Alliance for the Future) gathers supporters of former President Alberto Fujimori.
Claiming a more centrist stand are: APRA, the ruling party, Peru Posible, under the leadership of former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo and Frente de Centro which was lead by the late Valentin Paniagua.
Left of Center is Partido Nacionalista Peruano (Peruvian Nationalist Party) which unsuccesfully launched the candidacy of Ollanta Humala in 2006. However, the left of center also offers and array of different parties, from the more centrist Partido Movimiento Humanista Peruano (Peruvian Humanist Movement Party) to the more radical Frente Amplio de Izquierda (Broad Left Front).
