The incorrect spelling "Kambio" instead of "Cambio" ("change" in Spanish) is intended to make the party have the same initials as its founder.[6]
In the 2016 Congressional election, the party won 16.5% of the votes and 18 out of 130 seats. Their then-leader Kuczynski was elected president, winning 21.05% in the first and 50.12% in the second round.
