Vamos (lit. Come on or Let's go; officially Vamos por una Guatemala Diferente, lit. We are going for a Different Guatemala) is a conservative political party in Guatemala.
History
The political party was founded and registered by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in 2017. Its leader and general secretary is Alejandro Giammattei, a three-time presidential candidate. Alejandro Giammattei declared that this political party would be his platform to run in the 2019 election.[1][2][3]
The party has been criticized by some as a result of some former military officers who were accused of war crimes joining the party.[4]
The party is currently selecting the members of the staff to integrate the Cabinet for the 2020–2024 term.
