National Renewal Movement (Panama)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Renewal Movement (Movimiento de Renovación Nacional, MORENA) was a Panamanian neo-liberal political party.[1]

The National Renewal Movement was founded on 27 December 1993[2] by one of the Labor and Agrarian Party factions.[3]

For the 1994 elections, the MORENA presented its presidential candidate, and allied with the (MOLIRENA) and Civic Renewal Party (PRC). polled 171,192 votes (16.05%) and came fourth (the MORENA – 32,122 and 03.01%). The MORENA won 1 legislative seat.[4]

In 1999 MORENA allied with the (UPP) and its candidate Mireya Moscoso and polled only 28,487 votes (02.24%).[5]

The MORENA was dissolved by the Electoral Tribunal,[6] as it did not meet the legal requirements to remain active after the 1999 elections.[1]
