Nadine Heredia Alarcón de Humala (born May 25, 1976) is a Peruvian politician.[1] As the wife of President of Peru Ollanta Humala, she served as the First Lady of Peru from 2011 to 2016.[2] The President of the Peruvian Nationalist Party (PNP), which formed the Peru Wins electoral alliance in 2011, Heredia is seen as a highly influential figure in Peruvian politics.[2] She has headed the PNP since December 2013.[2]

Early life and education[]

Both Heredia and her husband had parents who raised them in Quechua-speaking households as children.[2]

Career[]

She collaborated in the establishment of the Peruvian Nationalist Party, which she currently leads.[3] She was considered a potential candidate in the 2016 Peruvian presidential election, but chose not to run.[4]

As of 2017, the Peruvian justice system is investigating her for serious cases of corruption,[5] usurpation of power and money laundering. The funds were allegedly used to finance President Ollanta Humala's election campaign.[6] Along with her husband Ollanta Humala, she was arrested on 13 July 2017 in connection with this scandal, and was ordered to be held for 18 months.[7]
