Editing Possible Peru (section)

== History ==
Possible Peru has its roots in an earlier political party, Possible Country, which was founded by the economist [[Alejandro Toledo]] in 1994. País Possible garnered 3% of the popular vote in the 1995 presidential election.

In the [[2000 Peruvian general election|2000 presidential election]], Toledo ran as a candidate from Possible Peru. After coming in second to [[Alberto Fujimori]] in the initial round of voting, Toledo withdrew as a candidate and requested that his supporters cast blank ballots in the second round run-off that was to be held because both candidates failed to receive more than 50% of the vote and Fujimori was subsequently re-elected in the run-off.

After Fujimori was sworn in for his third term, Toledo led his supporters in organizing a protest against Fujimori's alleged corruption, which became popularly known as ''[[Four Quarters March|Four Suyos March]]'', in a reference to the four ''suyu'' (district) in which the [[Inca Empire]] or Tawantin Suyu was divided. The protest turned violent, with six people being killed on 28 July inside a bank on fire. In response to growing allegations of corruption within his administration, Fujimori resigned as president in November 2000.

At the [[legislative]] [[elections in Peru|elections]] held on 8 April 2001, the party won 26.3% of the popular vote and 45 out of 120 seats in the [[Congress of the Republic of Peru|Congress of the Republic]]. Its presidential candidate at the elections of the same day, [[Alejandro Toledo]], won 36.5% of the vote and went on to win the second round on 3 June 2001 with 53.1%.

Toledo was elected in 2001 as Fujimori's replacement, receiving 53.1% of the popular vote. Shortly after becoming president, Toledo made a strategic alliance with the  [[Independent Moralizing Front]], led by [[Fernando Olivera (politician)|Fernando Olivera]].

In 2004, Toledo was accused of falsifying some of the signatures that had been collected on his behalf in the 2000 election. [[National Police of Peru|Police]] concluded that 78% of the signatures had been falsified. Further investigation revealed that the forged signatures had been produced by Toledo's sister, who was subsequently placed under house arrest.

At the [[legislative]] [[elections in Peru|elections]] held on 9 April 2006, the party won 4% of the popular vote and 2 out of 120 seats in [[Congress of the Republic of Peru|Congress]].

According to [[Daniel Mora]], one of the causes that led Possible Peru to the debacle was the arrogance of Alejandro Toledo.<ref>{{Cite web|date=25 November 2016|title=JNE: Cuatro partidos no pasaron valla electoral y serán cancelados en 2017 {{!}} Política {{!}} Peru21|url=http://peru21.pe/politica/jne-cuatro-partidos-no-pasaron-valla-electoral-y-seran-cancelados-2017-2249829|access-date=26 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161125045534/http://peru21.pe/politica/jne-cuatro-partidos-no-pasaron-valla-electoral-y-seran-cancelados-2017-2249829|archive-date=25 November 2016}}</ref> Later, Possible Peru supported the candidacy of [[Pedro Pablo Kuczynski]], despite the fact that Possible Peru lost the registration by failing to pass the electoral threshold.  On 12 May 2016, Carmen Omonte was withdrawn from the Lavajato Commission by her own ex-party Possible Peru. At the same time, Judge Abel Concha decided to lift Alejandro Toledo's bank secrecy, this being part of the Ecoteva case trial. On 12 March 2017, [[Marcial Ayaipoma]] announced that Possible Peru will be liquidated by not passing the electoral fence, as mandated by the Law of Political Parties.<ref>{{Cite web|last=LR|first=Redacción|date=11 March 2017|title=Perú Posible no va más y será liquidado, anuncia Marcial Ayaipoma|url=https://larepublica.pe/politica/855810-peru-posible-no-va-mas-y-sera-liquidado-anuncia-marcial-ayaypoma/|access-date=26 May 2021|website=larepublica.pe|language=es-PE}}</ref>

Possible Peru was dissolved in 2017 following its poor results at the [[2016 Peruvian general election|2016 general election]], garnering 1.2% at national level. Toledo unsuccessfully attempted to refound the party under the name of '''Peruvian Chakana''' ({{langx|es|Chacana Peruana}}).<ref>{{cite news|access-date=24 November 2016 |archive-date=25 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161125045909/http://peru21.pe/politica/alejandro-toledo-compro-kit-fundar-partido-politico-chacana-peruana-2249277 |date=13 June 2016 |periodical=Peru21 |title=Alejandro Toledo compró kit para fundar el Partido Político Chacana Peruana |url=http://peru21.pe/politica/alejandro-toledo-compro-kit-fundar-partido-politico-chacana-peruana-2249277}}<!-- auto-translated from Spanish by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
