with the special status of the Roman Catholic Church and investment capitalism, it followed the line of the main parties with regards to development and social justice. The party was critical of democracy and espoused authoritarianism, feeling that the competitive party system led to inefficiency and stopped important decisions from being made. Above all however, the driving force behind the UNO was the cult of personality built up around Odría and the achievements of his government. Disappearance and return The 1968 coup which saw Juan Velasco Alvarado brought to power also saw UNO disappear from the political scene. De la Piedra meanwhile broke away, and formed his Nationalist Social Democrat Party the same year. The UNO name was revived first in the 1989 Lima mayoral election when they put up Italian-born panettone entrepreneur Angelo Rovegno for mayor of Lima; he and others lost to Ricardo Belmont Cassinelli. In the subsequent 1990 Peruvian presidential election, lawyer Dora Narrea de Castillo ran under the party name, being the first woman ever to run for President of Peru. However, by this time Odría was long dead and his government a distant memory and so only 0.3% of the vote was secured in an election which brought Alberto Fujimori to power. Enrique Odría Sotomayor, his nephew, has registered "Alternancia Perú UNO" as a political party.
