History
The Puerto Ricans for Puerto Rico Party was founded in 2003.
On April 2007, it submitted the signatures required for certification by the Electoral State Commission. Rogelio Figueroa is the president and co-founder of the party.
The party finally got its certification on Wednesday, May 9, 2007, when the President of the Electoral Commission gave his approval. During this process, two of the three commissioners of the currently registered political parties supported the PPR's certification. Puerto Rican electoral law states that, if the commissioners don't reach a unanimous decision, the President of the Electoral Commission decides whether the Party gets registered.
