Popular Renewal (Spanish: Renovación Popular, RP) is a right-wing to far-right Peruvian political party. It was founded in 2020. The party is the replacement of the former National Solidarity Party founded and led by former Lima Mayor Luis Castañeda Lossio. After its poor results at the 2020 snap parliamentary election, leader Rafael López Aliaga announced the party's re-foundation under the Popular Renewal.
