History
In the elections of 2006, the FAI decided to withhold support for the presidential candidacy of Ollanta Humala and his Peruvian Nationalist Party, and nominated Alberto Moreno, chairman of Peru's communist party, as its own presidential candidate. Subsequently, some long-time leftists, such as Ricardo Letts Colmenares, left the FAI.
In the elections, Moreno received 0.3% of the vote, coming in 12th.
