Civic Party OBRAS

Belmont was his OBRAS party's candidate in the 1995 presidential election, but received only 2% of the vote. In the Congress of the Republic, OBRAS won two seats out of 120.

In the 2006 general election, Belmont was an independent candidate on the Centre Front list of Valentín Paniagua, but failed to secure a seat. However, in 2009, he entered Congress as a replacement following the death of congressman Alberto Andrade, the former mayor of Lima.

In 2015, OBRAS formed an alliance with the Siempre Unidos party, and in 2016 with Peru Secure Homeland, with the aim of participating in the 2016 presidential election; however, this alliance ended with the withdrawal of candidate Renzo Reggiardo.

In the 2018 Lima municipal election, OBRAS ran within the Libertarian Peru party, with Belmont as the mayoral candidate, receiving 3.89% of the vote.

In 2020, Belmont and his movement joined the ethnocacerist Union for Peru, becoming the number one candidate on the Lima UPP list in the snap congressional election.

That same year, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Belmont began organizing COVID-19 denialist marches and promoting anti-vaccination slogans such as "Every vaccine you take [...] could make you infertile."

In 2021, Belmont again allied with Free Peru, becoming an adviser to President Pedro Castillo. Despite the fact that a week before his appointment, Belmont described Castillo as "another one of those who ends up in jail or gets rich and flees the country."

In July 2024, the party was re-registered with the National Jury of Elections to participate in the next general election.

Belmont, the party leader, has become OBRAS's presidential candidate for the 2026 election. In his campaign, Belmont typically wears a Spartan warrior helmet, and his supporters refer to themselves as "Spartans".

During Belmont's OBRAS campaign, the party adopted some ideas from the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, former President of Mexico, such as the "Abrazos, no balazos" policy and the implementation of a government conference system similar to "Las Mañaneras del Pueblo" as its main proposals.

President: Ricardo Belmont
