Sumario: This paper aims to highlight the presence of a current characteristic of the subnational politics in Peru, which is that the people who are dominating the local political offer are the ones who are constructing their political careers for several years. In that sense, the research develops an indicator on political careers that was constructed from the analysis of the candidate’s political past to the provincial mayors of the last three electoral processes. Finally, the comparative analysis of Yungay and Satipo provinces provides allows the research to pose three independent variables: 1) The presence of educational institutions as spaces of political socialization, 2) The lags of the party system of the eighties and 3) The political openness to the migrants, to explain the factors that have allowed the construction of political careers at the subnational level.
