The Conservative People's Party (Spanish : Partido Conservador Popular; PCP) is a minor [8] social conservative [6] political party in Argentina founded in 1958 by Vicente Solano Lima, who was vice president of Argentina in 1973. [2] It was founded as a split from the Democratic Party (PD) following the 1955 coup that ousted Juan Domingo Perón from the presidency. [9]

A historical ally of Peronism and the Justicialist Party, [10] in recent years the PCP has backed anti-Peronist parties and alliances, and was one of the founding parties of the Cambiemos coalition in 2015. [11] Ahead of the 2019 general election, the PCP left Cambiemos and instead joined the newly formed NOS Front, backing the candidacy of Falklands War veteran Juan José Gómez Centurión. [6] Gómez Centurión placed fifth in the presidential race with 2.6% of the vote. [12]

Presently, it has no representation at the federal level.
