Formally a registered political party, the coalition participated in the 2021 general election with New Peru's leader, Verónika Mendoza, as presidential nominee. In the aftermath of the unsuccessful presidential run, the coalition endorsed Pedro Castillo's nomination in the runoff against Keiko Fujimori.
Upon the proclamation of Castillo's victory, Together for Peru was invited to join the new left-wing government led by Free Peru. Currently, the coalition sits as a junior member of Castillo's administration by holding two cabinet positions, the most prominent being the Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism, occupied by the coalition's president, Roberto Sánchez Palomino.
