National Unity Mission Party
The National Unity Mission Party (Partido Misión de Unidad Nacional, MUN) was a Panamanian small evangelical political party.[1]
The National Unity Mission Party was founded on 27 March 1992[2] largely by people from the “Assemblies of God”.[3]
The MUN was the only previously unregistered group other than Mother Earth Movement that had presented the requisite number of endorsements (21,000) to qualify as a party for the 1994 campaign.[4]
The ideological foundation of the party is based to “strengthen the family and protect children and youth”.[5]
In 1994 MUN allied with the Solidarity Party (PS) and its candidate Samuel Lewis Galindo and polled only 9,120 votes (00.85%).[6]
The MUN was dissolved by the Electoral Tribunal,[7] as it did not meet the legal requirements to remain active after the 1994 elections.[1]
