The Fujimorist Popular Force, that had dominated the legislature during the reign of Keiko Fujimori, regained 9 seats from their poor performance in the 2020 election, making them the second largest party, while the new far-right Popular Renewal party also gained 13 seats while the conservative Go on Country won 7 seats.
