Hayist Bases Movement

Hayist Bases Movement was a splinter group of Peruvian Aprista Party that was founded in 1980. Led by Andrés Townsend and Francisco [Diez Canseco Távara], the party claimed to be the true heirs of Víctor [Raúl Haya de la Torre]'s ideology, as the official party swift to a more populist agenda with the leadership of Armando Villanueva, and Alan García, with the latter winning the Presidency in 1985.
For the 1985 general election, Townsend and the party reached an agreement with the Christian [People's Party (Peru)|Christian People's Party] in order to run as an alliance named Democratic [Convergence (Peru)|Democratic Convergence]. The coalition's presidential nominee, Luis Bedoya Reyes, won 11.9% of the popular vote, placing third.
