DescriptionCatch-all party formed by legislators to support President Alvaro Uribe's re-election effort ahead of elections held on May 28, 2006. Party later nominated future president and former Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos ahead of elections held in 2010. Party was the nation's largest that year but has seen a steady decline since. Party considers itself center-right with a wide appeal, emulating the 'third way' approach used by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. Party has been led by Columbia's 32nd President Juan Manuel Santos since 2014 [Partido de la Unión por la Gente or Partido de la U)].
