The Christian People's Party (, PPC) is a centre-right and conservative political party based on the principles of Christian democracy. It was founded in 1966 by Christian Democratic Party dissidents, led by Luis Bedoya Reyes, at the time mayor of Lima. Participating for the first time in elections in 1978, the PPC managed to solidify its presence in coastal urban areas throughout the 1980s, but it was not enough to win the Peruvian presidency, as Luis Bedoya Reyes placed third in both the 1980 and 1985 general elections.

In 2000, the PPC's party registration was revoked by the National Jury of Elections under orders of the Fujimori administration. Recovering its registration in the aftermath of Fujimori's downfall, it became the dominant party of the National Unity coalition, placing third in both the 2001 and 2006 general elections under the ca ...
