Según Infogob, fue expulsado de Ahora Nación el 16 de enero del 2025. Estuvo afiliado menos de un año, desde el 12 de julio del 2024.
Previamente, el 30 de setiembre del 2020 se inscribió en Perú Libre. Postuló a las elecciones del 2021, logró una curul y renunció el 7 de junio del 2022.
Balcázar ingresó al Congreso de la mano del condenado por golpista expresidente Pedro Castillo, luego se pasó a Perú Bicentenario y después volvió a la bancada del lápiz. En el Parlamento, presidió la Comisión de Educación.
