History
Solidary Force was formed by former members of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) and the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA) in 2019.[2]
The party attempted to register with the Supreme Electoral Court to participate in the 2024 presidential election,[4] but the court stated that the party failed to register in time for the 5 March 2023 deadline.[5] Regardless, the party announced it will hold its primary elections on 2 July 2023, but ultimately delayed them for 16 July.[6] On 24 July 2023, the party announced that José Javier Renderos Vásquez, an obstetrician, would be its presidential candidate and that Rafael Montalvo, an agriculturist, would be its vice presidential candidate for the general election.[7][8]
