Everything with the People

The TCP party was founded on 20 December 2023, in Lima, at an assembly presided over by Nicolás Bustamante, former Minister of Transport and Communications during the government of Pedro Castillo. The creation of the TCP was promoted by Pedro Castillo, imprisoned in Barbadillo prison after his arrest following the attempted self-coup of 2022, and its creation was announced on 8 February 2024, on Castillo's social media account, where he also requested that people join the organization.

On 26 June 2024, Castillo announced his affiliation with the TCP. On 12 July, Castillo announced on his social media accounts the submission of the formal application for registration of his party to the National Elections Board (JNE). The party's name is a modification of the phrase "Always with the people," which was the official slogan of Castillo's presidency and was displayed on all public institutions and official executive communications during his administration.

On 17 August 2025, the TCP announced an alliance with Roberto Sánchez's Together for Peru (JP) party in Huaycán, forming the "Together for the People" alliance. On 19 August, the National Elections Board (JNE) registered the TCP in the Registry of Political Organizations (ROP), although it was ineligible to participate in the 2026 general elections due to its registration being outside the established deadline.

On 8 October, Castillo withdrew his confidence in Bustamante, stating in X that he "instructed Bustamante to convene the National Statutory Congress... his response was silence, arrogance, and disobedience." On 21 December 2025, Bustamante declared that there was "a movement in favor of expelling" Castillo within the party.

In the 2026 general elections, the TCP participated alongside Sánchez's party, an alliance forged by Castillo without consulting the party's grassroots members in exchange for a 20% quota to nominate his invited candidates, which drew criticism from Bustamante. Furthermore, the conflict between Bustamante and Castillo intensified, with Bustamante accusing the former president of deviating from the party line by joining forces with the group of Catherin Palomino Casavilca (a TCP member and elected deputy for JP as an invited candidate) and attempting to become party president without following proper procedures. For his part, Jaime Vásquez Castillo, the former president's nephew, criticized Bustamante, though he also criticized Palomino, Jorge Spelucín, and Íber Maraví. Although he was part of JP's campaign team at the beginning of the electoral contest, Vásquez was later removed due to his disputes with Palomino regarding campaign management, a removal endorsed by Castillo and instigated by Palomino.

For the regional and municipal elections of the same year, the TCP did not form an alliance to participate because internal disputes prevented the party from formalizing an alliance with Venceremos (as proposed by Bustamante) or JP (as proposed by Castillo).
