On 29 November 2020, members of the Peruvian Aprista Party chose a presidential ticket for the 2021 presidential election.[1]
The party elected former cabinet minister Nidia Vílchez as the presidential nominee, defeating by a large margin the two other candidates, alongside her running mates Iván Hidalgo, former deputy minister of Social Development, and Olga Cribilleros, former member of Congress from La Libertad.[2][3][4]
Subsequently, the party withdrew her nomination once registered as a candidate at the National Jury of Elections after the party was denied registering their congressional candidates past the deadline.[5][6][7]
