Víctor Andrés García Belaúnde

In the 2006 general election, García Belaúnde was elected Congressman representing Lima for the 2006–2011 term on the Center Front ticket, assembled by AP, We Are Peru and National Coordinator of Independents party. In Congress, he was the speaker of the Parliamentary Alliance, a joint group of Center Front, Possible Peru and, initially, the National Restoration Party lawmakers. In the 2011 general election, he was re-elected on the list of the Possible Peru Alliance, where his Popular Action party has now integrated. He was again re-elected in the 2016 general election and left office in 2019 following to the dissolution of the Congress by Martín Vizcarra. In 2017, he questioned the addendum to the Chinchero airport contract, as, in his opinion, it was harmful to the interests of the State. In this regard, he had a strong controversy with the then Vice President and Minister of Transport and Communications Martín Vizcarra, whom he described as a "sell-out country". In 2018, he ran for the presidency of Congress, leading a multiparty alliance that wanted to curb the hegemony of Fujimorism in the Board of Directors, but lost with a difference of 14 votes to Daniel Salaverry.

From 2002 to 2003 he was vice president, of the Popular Action party and from January 2004 to May 2009 he became the president of the Popular Action party.

At the end of the Fujimori dictatorship, Víctor García was AP's presidential candidate for the 2000 general election without considerable success, placing ninth with 0.4% of the vote and Fujimori was subsequently re-elected in the runoff that was marred by electoral fraud.

In the 1985 general election, García was elected to the Chamber of Deputies on his uncle's Popular Action (AP) list for a five-year term, representing the Lima Region. Parallel, he was secretary of the AP-led cabinet. In the 1990 general election, he was re-elected for a second term, representing the liberal-conservative FREDEMO-coalition comprising his Popular Action, the Christian People's Party and the Liberty Movement and served until authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori dissolved the Congress in a self-coup in 1992.

After graduating from the Peruvian Naval School, García studied law at the University of Valladolid in Spain and the prestigious National University of San Marcos. He received his Licence in 1975.
