Renzo Reggiardo is the son of the Italian-Peruvian Fujimorist politician Andrés Reggiardo. He joined his father's party Cambio 90 which was founded by former President Alberto Fujimori and served as National secretary of its youth branch from 2006 to 2010. In 2006, Reggiardo was elected to the Congress for the 2006–2011 term on the Fujimorist Alliance for the Future. In May 2010, he became National secretary of Cambio 90. When the ex-president's daughter Keiko Fujimori decided to form a new party, Fuerza 2011, to promote her presidential candidacy in 2011, Reggiardo did not follow. Instead, he added what was left of Cambio 90 to the National Solidarity Alliance and endorsed former Lima Mayor Luis Castañeda for presidency. In the congressional vote, Reggiardo was re-elected. Instead of joining with the rest of the representatives elected on the alliance's lists, Reggiardo now sits on the Parliamentary Coordination bench, together with Peruvian Aprista Party's congressmen. In the 2018 local elections, Reggiardo ran for Mayor of Lima. Leading most of the polls throughout the entire campaign, his absence in the mayoral debate proved the decisive in the rise of candidates Jorge Muñoz of Popular Action and Daniel Urresti of Podemos Perú, finishing in third place in the election with 8.9% of the popular vote.
