Contigo (political party)
Contigo () was a right-wing political party in Peru. Led by former congressmen Gilbert Violeta, Salvador Heresi and Juan Sheput, Contigo participated of the 2020 parliamentary snap election and the 2021 general election, in both occasions earning a low share of votes in comparison to the success of its preceding organization, Peruvians for Change, which achieved the Peruvian presidency with Pedro Pablo Kuczynski at the 2016 general election. The party was officially dissolved following the 2021 general election for not passing the electoral threshold. History In February 2019, Peruanos Por el Kambio (PpK), the party that had led Pedro Pablo Kuczynski to the presidency in 2016, and that in theory, served as the official government party of Martín Vizcarra's government, declared itself in reorganization and announced the creation of a party assembly to evaluate a probable name change. Kuczynski himself presented his irrevocable resignation to the presidency of PpK on 4 February 2019. Shortly after the announcement of reorganization of the party, nine of the eleven PpK congressmen (the absent were Gilbert Violeta and Juan Sheput) met at the Government Palace with President Vizcarra and the members of the Council of Ministers, and agreed to continue supporting the government.
