In mid-2019, Humberto Lay resigned from the leadership of National Restoration, the party underwent a formal reorganization that involved a re-foundation with a name-change. After multiple talks with different political leaders, the party reached an agreement with former footballer George Forsyth in order to reorganize the party.[1]
In October 2020, the party announced its re-foundation under Forsyth's leadership, thus effectively dissolving National Restoration, and establishing National Victory. Subsequently, the party nominated Forsyth for President for the 2021 general election, but was disqualified on 10 February 2021.[2] However, the disqualification was revoked by the National Jury of Elections on 5 March 2021, following to an appeal.[3] On Election Day, Forsyth placed 8th while in the Congressional election, the party failed to win any seats by a margin of 0.04%.
Economically, Forsyth is viewed as a pro-market candidate, although his stances on the Peruvian economy (according to Americas Quarterly) "are less clear".[5]
