Nadine Heredia Alarcón de Humala (born May 25, 1976 Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian politician.[1] The wife of the ex President of Peru, Ollanta Humala, she has served as the First Lady of Peru from 2011, until 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]

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

She collaborated in the establishment of the Peruvian Nationalist Party, which she currently presides.[3]

Actually, peruvian justice is investigating her for serious cases of corruption,[4] usurpation of power and money laundering. The funds were allegedly used to finance President Ollanta Humala's election campaign.[5]
