Bloque Democrático Popular is a centre‑left parliamentary group that was created on 13 April 2022 and re‑founded on 25 July 2024. It is made up of 4 of the 5 congressmen elected by the defunct coalition Together for Peru.[1]
History
[edit]In In view of the 2018 subnational elections, the various Peruvian left-wing groups formed the Together for Peru coalition (registered as a political party with the JNE). The alliance is maintained for the Peruvian general elections of 2021, whose presidential candidate was Verónika Mendoza of the New Peru movement. The alliance won 5 of 130 seats.

| Sigrid Bazán | Nuevo Perú |
| Ruth Luque | Nuevo Perú |
| Isabel Cortez | Together for Peru |
| Edgard Reymundo | Together for Peru |
| Roberto Sánchez | Together for Peru |
In April 2022, the congressmen of Together for Peru (a dissolved coalition that retains electoral registration as a political party) re-found the parliamentary group with the name Democratic Change - Together for Peru. It is made up of legislators Sigrid Bazán (Nuevo Perú), Ruth Luque (En Movimiento), Edgard Raymundo, Isabel Cortez, Roberto Sánchez (JP). They occupy an ordinary commission for the legislature August 2022 - July 2023.
The following year, March 2023, the four congressmen of the dissolved Perú Democrático bench (Guillermo Bermejo (Voces del Pueblo), Hamlet Echevarría, Nieves Limachi and Luis Kamiche) join the parliamentary group "Cambio Democrático - Juntos por el Perú". In July 2023, the non-grouped congresswoman Susel Paredes (Primero La Gente) joins. In total, they occupy 10 seats and chair 2 ordinary commissions for the legislature August 2023 - July 2024. In March 2024, legislator Víctor Cutipa joins.[2]
In July 2024, Cambio Democrático is refounded as Bloque Democrático Popular (initially as Frente Democrático) and brings together 5 congressmen of the 11 in the bench: Sigrid Bazán (Nuevo Perú), Susel Paredes (Primero La Gente), Ruth Luque (En Movimiento), Edgard Reymundo and Isabel Cortez.
