Alberto Ismael Beingolea Delgado (born 19 November 1964) is a Peruvian politician, who was the President of the Christian People's Party between 2017 and 2021.
He started on television at the age of 13, integrating the cast of the program Los Niños y su Mundo by Yola Polastri.
After the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Beingolea decided to accept the defunct offer of Global Televisión Canal 13, a small channel that wanted to prioritize his sports programming.
He resigned from said program in 2000, denouncing that the Alberto Fujimori regime had infiltrated its journalistic operators into ATV, with the complicity of their owners, to try to save themselves from what was his downfall.
In June 2003, Beingolea joined CMD, where he hosted the programs Crónicas de balón, Versus and Partido Aparte, being the main commentator for the Campeonato Descentralizado and the Peru national team, qualifying rounds and world championships in 2006 and 2011.
In January 2011, during broadcasting Versus' first show of the year, he gave up his 33-year career as a sports journalist to run for a seat in the Peruvian Congress.
The car hit a public transport bus, which caused Beingolea to jump out of the vehicle, falling into the central berm, while the co-pilot, Roger Pingo (rector of the Señor de Sipán University), died on the spot.
He ended up placing fourth in the election with 4.4% of the popular vote, losing to Jorge Muñoz, although he performed strongly in the debates against former mayor Ricardo Belmont.
The roundtable managed to negotiate with a variety of political personalities and parties until reaching an agreement César Acuña of Alliance for Progress.
[8] The alliance was officially signed on 12 October 2020, but lasted only six days, upon the revelation of disconformity from PPC's leadership, most prominently from the party Secretary General, Marisol Pérez Tello, who rejected Acuña by stating "she would not support a plagiarizer".
